Coffee will be poured fresh directly with an exclusive arrangement made with award-winning, Moonraker Roasters from Philadelphia, PA.The Borscht Belt will open each morning at 7 am with varying closing hours throughout the week and weekend.
The restaurant's name lends itself as a nostalgic salute to the most memorable days of the entertainment-loving, Jewish summering-community in the Catskills during the mid-20th century. Co-Owner Mike Dalewitz, currently an advisor on The Borscht Belt Museum, and whose family helped run the iconic landmark institutions, The Pines Hotel and The Red Apple Rest, speaks fondly of the era and states the most important ingredients of their concept is to celebrate what he believes the original Borscht Belt represented; community, family, large amounts of laughter and entertainment, and of course, mounds of mouth-watering NY-style Jewish cuisine.

Our Deli will truly be a fantastic addition to the Trenton Farmers Market and will certainly be a draw for locals and visitors living in and coming to Mercer County.”
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; thus, extensive research, passion, and development ensued for an exciting 2021 inaugural launch in Stockton, NJ and 2023 launch in Newtown, PA. The Borscht Belt Delicatessen promises to deliver a heightened culinary experience featuring the best of the NYC Delicatessen, Bagels, Appetizing and Baked Goods.
