This is a wonderful site. I worked for Gerry Weiss as stage manager in the mid 70's. Jerry and Lew Goldstein shared a small office near the temple, and I was often called on to perform "Shabus Goi" duties. Bob Wallace worked with me, and Don Parker was Lew Goldstein's number one guy on the Activities Staff. It's hard to find a hotel or resort these days that has the style, class, grace, or history that the G had. Great staff servicing great clients. What a place! They don't make em like that anymore, but the great memories of wonderful people and good friends never die.

What memories! We are distantly related to the Grossinger Family. Spent many summers there, watching Lou do the Simon Says thing. My grandmother's brother was Frank Singer, who oversaw the kitchens, and made sure everything was kosher. Do you remember him? Thank you for this wonderful and nostalgic website!!!

Hello
What do your think about program remover ?

Hey Joe,I read on this site somewher that you used to work at the Golf House.My grandfather played almost every weekend there,his name was Meyer Pesin.Do you remember him?

After a recent trip through the area, we stumbled upon Grossinger's by accident, and I became very interested in the history, this site truly answered my questions! Keep up the great work!

Cool site.

spent my whole life going up to the mountains.........huge part of my heart...always!!!!!

i love your site

If anyone who remebers us wants to contact me my email is lcrevere8@aol.com

I was a cashier& biller at Grossinger's front office and I met my husband there. He was the Latin Band Leader Eddie Rivera and we have been married for 40 years. I worked there from 1963 to 1966. It was the best experience of my life and I have many photos. We now have 2 sons and are only sad that we never brought them there. I would love to year from anyone who knew us. I keep in touch once in a while with Lou Goldstein's nephew Eddie Steinman who also worked there and with Jackie Lou Goldstein's wife.

Thanks for the great pictures. They brought back really fond memories of outstanding people and carefree times.

I found a copy of Jennie's cookbook (copyright 1958, I was born in 1957!) at a garage sale in Dallas in the 80's and I treasure it. Not only does it have great recipes, but it has a lot of Jennie's philosophy of hospitality. Un. Beatable.
So sad to see the ruins on the abandonedbutnotforgotten site.

Thank you for helping to bring back fond memories of Grossingers! I spent quite a few winter breaks there, and was saddened to see the state of disrepair there now. One of my memories, Lou Goldstein and Simon Says!

Wow. Thank you. I have always wondered what was up with that large old resort. Everyday on my commute home I would count the broken windows and wonder why no one ever fixed them. I can now understand why. My imagination runs wild browsing through the pictures... picturing what it must have been like to be part of a family vacationing there. Perhaps Sullivan County will be home to such a wonderful place again.

I have many great memories of the place. We went every year. I remember seeing Billy Crystal circa 1974 or so. It was a non-stop party for families and friends.

I remember going there as a young child. It was wonderful. My grandpa sae Henny Youngmen. He was so happy. I couldn't believe it was gone.

I spent my honeymoon at Grossingers in 1961 and I have wonderful pictures to remind me of the great time I had there. Went back a few times for long weekends..Sorry to see it go...I'm a bungalow woman from way back and still miss the good times I had...

I know that the Grossinger family ceased operations in 1985, my question is was Grossingers opened for a time after that or has it been closed since then? I have read many articles citing various closing years, so I was unsure as to whether or not another company attempted to reopen the G, with no success.

Worked at the G from 78 - 82. Like others, it was the best time of my life and I look back on it all with fond memories.

Worked on the pool staff and was the Pool and Health Club Director after Mike Farkas left.

I remember all the good times in the Pink Elephant Lounge and at the Lincoln Bar! The lake parties we threw in the summer were fantastic! Then there were the Christmas parties in the Playhouse that were second to none!! The summer pool staff also threw some AWESOME parties at the outdoor pool solarium...

I remember Dave and Heidi - went to their wedding. I also remember Steve and Dave who worked with Lou. Remember Leo in the staff dining room?

Joe, thanks for the site and keeping the "Big G" alive for all of us to remember.

please let me know when you're going back to the G to take more photos. I'd like to join you!
