About this event

WE MET AT GROSSINGER’S is a joyful, nostalgic journey through the Jewish Catskills’ legendary Borscht Belt, centered on the iconic Grossinger’s Hotel – the inspiration for Dirty Dancing. With guests ranging from Jackie Robinson to Eddie Fisher to Eleanor Roosevelt, it was an oasis of belonging.

Before the film enjoy a dessert reception — and afterward, stay for an in-person conversation with comedy powerhouse JUDY GOLD, who’s featured in the documentary. Tickets can be purchased for the reception, film, and talkback, or for just the film and talkback.
