From Publishers Weekly
An oral history of the good old days, when the Catskills served as a training ground for Broadway.
Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
Product Description
This signature book captures the flavor of the "Borscht Belt," that fabled vacation area just "ninety minutes from Broadway." Summer romances, mambo time, menus with seven kinds of herring, musical and comedic greats getting their start, bungalows, and big hotels like Grossinger’s—all come back in a rush. Through the power of oral history, more than a hundred voices share stories that span nearly a century—recalling an experience that exists now only in memory. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
