ABOUT THE BORSCHT BELT DELICATESSEN:

The Borscht Belt Delicatessen concept launched from the group’s reaction to the communal-cry in 2020 for the longing for missed family, culture, and authentic food that ties us all together. Instantly, the “Shangri-la” days of the Borscht Belt era came to mind as a source of reference for founders Celebrity Chef Nick Liberato and partners Mike Dalewitz and Steve Lau; thus, extensive research, passion, and development ensued for an exciting 2021 inaugural launch in Stockton, NJ. The Borscht Belt Delicatessen promises to deliver a heightened culinary experience featuring the best of the NYC Delicatessen, Bagels, Appetizing and Baked Goods. Like the Borscht Belt of the Catskills, they promise that laughter will flourish and we will serve as a place to find comfort and nourishment. With an array of safe and friendly dining and catering options, this reimagined delicatessen salutes a bygone period that has long needed a home to remind us how food, family, and friends were once served and how they can be again. Always offering a taste of the past, yet delivered with a contemporary gourmet-twist, food-connoisseurs across the foodie-spectrum with wallets of all sizes will relish and celebrate; this is The Borscht Belt Delicatessen.
