A friend of mine was visiting me from France. He wanted to go to some interesting places and I suggested that he visit the FDNY Museum, which I like very much. I used to visit it once a year and I recommend it to anyone who is looking for an off the beaten path museum. He went there and was greeted by one do the greeters, most likely a retired NYC fireman. The greeter was friendly until he asked my friend where he was from and when he heard "France" he turned away and was extremely cool to my friend; I was told it was bordering on unfriendliness at best to hostility.

Not a good impression!!! I will probably never go back there, nor will I recommend it to anyone else.
