Unknown Legends of Summer is about a time in the 1970s before the suburban sprawl when the Poconos, Catskills, and the northwest New Jersey mountains featured hotels of all sizes that ran during the summer, requiring waiters, kitchen staff, chambermaids, bands, bartenders, lifeguards, and concierge staff usually filled by college students and teachers looking to augment their meager salaries. This is a story about one such hotel in New Jersey that served Italian cuisine and the events that took place between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
