Andy Cohen Me And Ben Want to Say ... Thank You First Responders!!!

Andy Cohen and his son, Ben, joined a crowd in the West Village of the Big Apple to show appreciation for the frontline saviors.

Andy was all masked up with his 14-month-old son on his shoulders as the talk show host cheered medical workers at Lenox Health Greenwich Village.

It's become a ritual at 7 PM in New York ... with residents leaning out windows, clanging pots and pans, screaming their appreciation ... quite the sight. Although New York, hopefully, has seen the worst, there are still hundreds of people a day who are losing their lives from the virus.

Looks like Ben may have a new best friend.  Andy's best bud, Anderson Cooper, just had a kid of his own -- Wyatt Morgan Cooper -- who was born Monday via surrogate.

It really is a moving contrast .... with all the sickness and death we've seen over the last month-and-a-half, there can still be joy with events like Anderson's.
