A Breath of Fresh Air Campaign
Conceived by Gwen Goodwin
of New York City
Dedicated to the
Firefighters in the New York City
Rescue and Recovery
Phone: (212) 592-0177
The Innkeepers of Cape May, New Jersey, have kindly extended their facilities on a complimentary basis to the Fire Fighters of New York City for much needed relief and relaxation. This generosity is a token of appreciation for the incredible sacrifice and continual perseverance in rescue and recovery efforts. A typical stay would be 3 days and two nights, weekdays only.

Unfortunately, because of requests to extend this program and lack of funding, for the time being, a $50 fee will be required to cover administrative costs, while we work on developing alternatives. We are sorry about this inconvenience, and thank you for bearing with us.

Cape May is widely renowned as:

  • A National Historic city, landmarked for the splendor of its 600 preserved Victorian era houses and hotels, to provide a healthful, stress-free, and beautifully relaxing environment.
  • One of the “100 Best  Small Art Towns,” according to John Villani’s book of the same title.
  • The only location twice designated “America’s Prettiest Painted Place” (1928 and 2000) by Rohm and Haas Paint Quality Institute with Better Homes and Gardens and Architecture Magazines.
  • The Restaurant Capital of New Jersey (New York Times, New Jersey Monthly, New Jersey on Line, and many others), with an amazing variety of five-star restaurants..
  • Birding Migration Capital of N. America (Roger Tory Peterson’s Dozen Birding Hotspots, a Nature Conservancy Top Ten.)
  • One of Largest U.S. Fishing Ports, including deep-sea sport and surf fishing, and whale watching.
  • Among Top Ten Beaches in the United States (Beach Week, The Traffic Channel, March 2000).
  • And, a must-not-miss: the world famous Cape May Jazz Festival Click on image to go to the Cape May Jazz Festival website http://www.capemayjazz.com):
