Delicatessen hosts Friday book signings, live comedy

Posted

The Borscht Belt Delicatessen hosts a Friday series of book signings and live comedy performances.
The series kicks off Friday, July 30, with a book signing for award-winning author Elyssa Friedland to showcase her latest book, “Last Summer at the Golden Hotel” (a Good Morning America “Buzz Pick”), and continues in August with two additional book signings and one comedy act.
All book signing events will take place from 5 to 7 p.m.
On July, 30, the Book Signing and Q&A with Elyssa Friedland, from 5 to 6:15 p.m. is free to attend. A private VIP event, from 6:15 to 7 p.m., including a signed copy of the book, meet and greet and boxed dinner courtesy of the Borscht Belt Delicatessen, is ticketed.
The boxed dinner includes your choice of cold sandwiches, sides, chips and Dr. Brown soda.
Tickets are $75 per person; a portion of ticket sales will go to Leket Israel, the leading food rescue organization providing healthy surplus food and delivering it to Israelis in need.
“Last Summer at the Golden Hotel follows the humorous and chaotic times of two families; the book is set in the Catskills Resorts in the Borscht Belt region – the same region that served as inspiration for the restaurant.

The Borscht Belt also plants to host Ted Merwin, author of “Pastrami on Rye: An Overstuffed History of the Jewish Deli,” and Elaine Freed Lindenblatt, author of “Stop at the Red Apple.” Winner of the 2015 National Jewish Book Award in Education and Jewish Identity from the Jewish Book Council, Merwin’s book details the history of an iconic food in Jewish American culture. Lindenblatt’s book offers an entertaining inside story of how Reuben Freed’s roadside eatery became the famous Red Apple Rest, a legendary restaurant open from the 1930s through the 1980s on New York’s Route 17. Dates for both appearances are being rescheduled and will be publicized soon.
On Friday, Aug. 20, there will be a live comedy performance when The Borscht Belt hosts dinner and a show featuring comedian Joey Novick as star and host of “Catskills on the Delaware” from 5:30 to 7 p.m.
A boxed dinner includes your choice of cold sandwiches, sides, chips and Dr. Brown soda. Tickets are $50 per person.
Tickets for the Aug. 20 event are $50 each.
The Borscht Belt Delicatessen is located at 19 Bridge St., Stockton, N.J.
