As you may or may not have heard, Kutsher’s Country Club, the last of the Borscht Belt mega hotels, has been sold to a developer. It’s not all bad news. The new place will be a health and wellness resort as opposed to a casino.
The contents auction takes place today in Monticello, regardless of weather. I so wanted to go and pay my last respects to an establishment that was very much part of my childhood and teen years. It seemed fitting to carry some Kutsher’s remnants in my new shop. But alas, I’m too wimpy to drive up to Monticello in the snow so it ain’t gonna happen.
Zay gezunt, Kutsher’s.
Here’s what’s being auctioned off. 
The famous sign!
Hot tub
These awesome tables and chairs
Even better chairs!
Loads of dishes

We also wanted to go and film for the epilogue to our documentary “Welcome to Kutsher’s: The Last Catskills Resort”, but were prevented by the storm. If anyone made it and took pictures or video, please contact us at kutshersdoc@gmail.com. Or email us to get on our mailing list for future screening and upcoming DVD release dates.
I think I’m on your mailing list, but give us a head’s up here so we can post it on Reclaimed Home. Looking forward to the film!
I used to come to Kutshers country club every February in the 80’s with my family, the Zakens. Looking at these photos brought back wonderful memories of my childhood.
