Part 3/10:
The resort's appeal particularly resonated with the Jewish community in New York City during a time when places of leisure frequently excluded them. Grossinger's, alongside its counterparts like the Concord and the Nevele, offered an inviting atmosphere where guests could revel in authentic cuisine and robust entertainment choices without prejudice.
A Cultural Phenomenon
Part of Grossinger's allure came from its reputation as a vibrant cultural hub. The hotel hosted a wide array of events—daily activities catered to guests and performances from legends like Jerry Lewis and Elizabeth Taylor. It was a melting pot of leisure, entertainment, and socializing, embodying the spirit of summer retreats in the Catskills.
