Located midway between New York City and the resorts of the Catskill Mountains, the restaurant served as a who's who of entertainment luminaries. Elaine Freed Lindenblatt was born into restaurant royalty as the youngest child of the establishment's founder, Reuben Freed. For her, the Red Apple was the "family room" across the road--one she shared with over a million customers every year. In this book fifty-plus years unfold in a series of lively vignettes--enhanced with photos, memorabilia, and even a closely guarded recipe--as she recreates what it was like to be raised in the fishbowl of a round-the-clock family operation. Stop at the Red Apple is at once an account of growing up in 1950s small-town America, a glimpse into the workings of a successful food operation, and a swan song to a glorious slice of bygone popular culture."--Publisher's description Notes Print version record Subject Lindenblatt, Elaine Freed -- Childhood and youth Lindenblatt, Elaine Freed -- Family SUBJECT Lindenblatt, Elaine Freed fast Subject Red Apple Rest (Restaurant : Tuxedo, N.Y.) -- History Red Apple Rest (Restaurant : Tuxedo, N.Y.) -- Employees -- History SUBJECT Red Apple Rest (Restaurant : Tuxedo, N.Y.) fast Subject Restaurateurs -- New York (State) -- Tuxedo Park -- Biography Jews -- New York (State) -- Tuxedo Park -- Biography Fathers and daughters -- New York (State) -- Tuxedo Park -- Biography BUSINESS & ECONOMICS -- Small Business.
