Remembering the Catskills Remembering the Catskills - DVD

Remembering the Catskills takes us on a walk down the most magnificent memory lane-with spectacular stories of the much-beloved Borscht Belt in New York's Catskill Mountains. During it's heyday, the Catskills were checkered with hundreds of bungalow colonies, hotels, and rooming houses. From the 1930s to the 1970s, the Catskill Mountains were the place to go for vacation when you lived in the Tri-State Area. While some resorts remained open all year, from Memorial Day to Labor Day, the Catskills were booked and bouncing with energy and excitement, with some of the best up-and-coming and established comedic and musical talent performing throughout the circuit, bringing tremendous joy and laughter to families during this beloved bygone era. Ron MacCloskey (Boris Karloff: The Man Behind the Monster, Boris Karloff: The Rest of the Story), who worked at Brown's Hotel in the 1970s, hosts and produces Remembering the Catskills, which originally aired on Jewish Life Television (JLTV). Ron's special guests include Cousin Brucie, Dr. Peter Allen Chester, Stephen Cole, Michael Dalewitz, Elaine Grossinger Etess, Todd Frank, Allen Frishman, Alan Greenberg, Robin Kaufman, Dr. Mark Reiger, Howard Storm, and Jack Weber. All the great hotels, including Brown's, Concord, Grossinger's, Kutsher's, Nevele, Raleigh, and more, are featured.
