“Hotel Brat” Bart Charlow Lifts the Curtains on the Borscht Belt Era

Posted on February 7, 2024 by Tim Bruno

Bart A. Charlow was born into the life of a Borscht Belt Catskills hotel family and his first book, “A Catskill Carnival: My Borscht Belt Life Lived, Lost and Loved,” is a memoir of his early years in a unique setting, coming to terms with it and cherishing its life lessons.

He’ll be talking about it at a virtual book talk for The Time & the Valleys Museum Sunday, February 11.

He spoke to Tim Bruno on Radio Chatskill.

    I learned a heckuva lot, thanks! Seen the Mrs. Maisel episodes that took place in Catskills? There may be three or four of them: pristinely set and staged…worth catching them for seeing lovable semi-authentic version of this audio.
