The Big Quiz Thing: Prize sponsor spotlight: New York City Fire Museum

Following up on yesterday's post previewing the next NYC BQT (Tuesday, May 6, back at the glorious SubCulture), we have yet info for you about the fantastic prize sponsors on tap for the evening. $200 cash jackpot for a few lucky teams, of course, and goodies from The Brooklyn Botanic Garden, 50 Shades! The Musical, Pogo Events, and SubCulture itself. Plus, joining the horde…

The New York City Fire Museum

Turn on the siren! "From the bucket brigades of Peter Stuyvesant's New Amsterdam through the colorful history of volunteer firefighters to modern firefighting techniques and equipment," the NYCFM is the official museum of New York's Bravest, our own valiant masters of the hose and ladder. Classic fire engines, tools and uniforms, a section about the "romance of firefighting" (those guys are indeed sexy, aren't they?)—

everything for the true lover of NYC history. Now on view: An exhibit titled "The War Years." Which war, you ask? Not World War I, or II, but the story of the FDNY in the 1970s—the days when the Bronx was burning. Clever. You'll find it all at 278 Spring Street (between Hudson and Varick), and they're giving us a bunch of free passes for a few fortunate winners at the next BQT. Learn more at NYCFireMuseum.org.
