Sullivan County, in the Catskills

Sullivan County, NY

An appropriate place for City folk to have their summer house, in the Borscht Belt, boot camp for dozens of New York City stand-up comedians. The Borscht Belt was famously -- well, famously in our house -- protrayed on Episode 40 of The Dick Van Dyke Show, "The Secret Life of Buddy and Sally", in which two of the writers for the fictional Alan Brady Show write and perform their own routine in secret in one of the Catskill tourist hangouts for a little extra cash and some fun.

And, lo and behold, heeeeere's Narrowsburg!
