Between 1920 and 1970, the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York were dotted with summer resorts catering to Jewish patrons.
This area became known as the Borscht Belt.
One of the largest was Grossinger's Resort Hotel - it is rumored to be the inspiration for the movie Dirty Dancing.
In the 1980s, air travel made vacationing in the Catskills less attractive. One after another, the Borscht Belt resorts filed for bankruptcy and closed. Today they sit abandoned.
