Hotels and restaurants gave thanks to those serving others on Thanksgiving Day.

Top of the Hub Restaurant continued its tradition of providing Engine 33 and Ladder 15 of the Boston Fire Department with a complete Thanksgiving dinner. Boston Fire Department spokesman, Steve McDonald, said the jakes appreciate the gesture. “It’s very appreciative from the firefighters who are away from their families.”

At the InterContinental Boston, hotel employees greeted and shook hands with the firefighters who picked up the food. InterContinental spokeswoman Stephanie Loeber said, “It feels good to do good things, we want to thank them for that they do.”

The Westin Copley Place hosted “Thanksgiving on the Mayflower.” Together with Mayflower Moving Co., a feast was served to Boston’s first-responders on a Mayflower Moving trailer parked outside the hotel. Other restaurants and hotels donated meals to 265 firefighters on duty throughout the city.

“It’s nice for the business people to think of the firefighters and go out of their way to prepare a nice meal,” McDonald said.
