Borscht Belt Delicatessen In Newtown Opening Second Location

MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — The Borscht Belt Delicatessen, a popular New York-style Jewish deli in Newtown, will celebrate the opening of its second location inside the St. Mary Medical Center cafeteria on Monday, Nov. 13.

Through a partnership with Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic, the owners of the Borscht Belt will operate the deli inside the hospital's cafeteria Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. The deli will be available to patients, visitors and employees.

The menu at St. Mary will feature iconic Ess-a-bagels from New York City, classic sandwiches, a selection of specialty sandwiches and more.

The Borscht Belt Delicatessen's collaboration with St. Mary represents a major enhancement to the hospital’s dining experience.

“We are thrilled to offer a variety of delicious new menu offerings from The Borscht Belt Delicatessen right here in the St. Mary Medical Center cafeteria,” said Suzette Cunicelli, vice president of Professional and Support Services at St. Mary Medical Center. “Just as we strive to provide the highest level of patient care possible, we also prioritize the patient experience. The convenient availability of high-quality food options is a big part of that experience.”

A ribbon-cutting will be held at the St. Mary cafeteria at 10 a.m. on Monday, November 13 to mark the opening of the Borscht Belt at St. Mary. Attendees will be treated to free samples of a variety of bagels and spreads from the Borscht Belt.

Bucks County native and celebrity chef Nick Liberato, co-founder and executive chef at the Borscht Belt, will be present at the grand opening event. After building a successful catering career in Los Angeles and appearing on several food-themed television shows, Liberato returned home to Bucks County in 2020 to form a hospitality group that launched the original Borscht Belt location in Stockton, N.J., in June 2021. The Borscht Belt moved to its current location in Newtown in May.

“At The Borscht Belt Delicatessen, we’re excited to join forces with St. Mary Medical Center, bringing some favorites from our menu to their cafeteria,” said Liberato. “We’re here to provide the hospital with the comfort that great food provides.”
