Brown's Hotel (Catskills)
Brown’s Hotel was nationally known resort complex located in the Borscht Belt area of upstate New York, in the Catskill Mountains. It was one of the largest and most elaborate establishments of its kind during an era when the entire region prospered as a tourist destination. From the 1940s to the 1980s, the hotel was a popular vacation destination for many upper-middle-class families living in the New York City metropolitan area. Jewish-American families were welcomed and even catered to specifically by the hotels in the Borscht Belt during a time period when anti-semitism was prevalent in the hospitality industry. Filling a niche, the area quickly became a mecca for Jewish-American families.〔.〕 Brown's Hotel was located in the hamlet of Loch Sheldrake in the Town of Fallsburg, Sullivan County, New York.
==Background==
By the 1940s, Sullivan County, New York had become an incredibly popular resort area in the Catskill Mountains north of New York City frequented primarily by middle and upper-class Jewish families living in the Northeast. The New York metropolitan area had a thriving and successful Jewish population and most resorts in other parts of the country did not allow access to Jews at this time The agglomeration of cottages, hotels, and bungalows provided cuisine, recreation, and entertainment that catered to Jewish clientele, serving as an escape from the big city and from ethnic discrimination. The area became known informally by the moniker The Borscht Belt or the Jewish Alps.
Thriving from as early as the 1920s through the 1970s, nearly every notable Jewish comedian and entertainer of the 20th century would hone their skills performing at the numerous hotels that were built in the Sullivan County area. Fallsburg became the catalyst for American stand-up comedy〔 Vaudeville legends Mel Blanc, Milton Berle, Jack Benny, and Red Buttons would make an early living at the night clubs here, as would Hollywood stars Mel Brooks, Billy Crystal, Rodney Dangerfield, Don Rickles, and Joan Rivers. Famed prize fighters like Rocky Marciano, Sonny Liston, and Muhammad Ali trained here. Millions of tourists, especially New Yorkers, came to swim in the lakes or the oversized hotel pools, to ski or ice-skate〔 or even take lessons in golf, tennis, and dancing. No less than 538 hotels sprang up in this area of Eastern New York〔
