To our beautiful community,
After five incredible years, My Cousin's will be closing its doors at the end of June.
This is not a message I ever imagined writing, because opening this restaurant was, without question, the best thing I have ever done. From the very beginning, the goal was simple: to create a world-class dining experience right here in the heart of Mahopac. Looking back, I believe we did exactly that.
When we opened, I shared what I hoped My Cousin's would be: a place that exemplified what my cousin Jay brought to hospitality and to life. He was kind, warm, welcoming, and just excited to be there. Jay had the gift of making every person feel like the most important person in the world. If even a fraction of the people who walked through our doors left feeling that way; seen, welcomed, full, then we did justice to the man behind the name.
It has been an honor to serve this community. An absolute honor. Every birthday dinner, every Sunday brunch, every familiar face at the bar, and every person who walked in a stranger and walked out family, it all meant more to me than I can put into words.
This chapter is closing, but it has been a beautiful one. Thank you for filling our tables, for recommending us to your friends and family, and for making My Cousin's feel exactly what we always wanted it to be: a place to fill your stomach and raise your spirits.
We hope that you can continue to join us over the next two months, for dinner, for brunch, or a cocktail. Bring those friends or cousins that you never got to share Grandma’s Cauliflower Patties or Aunt Chrissy’s Meatballs with. Let everyone know that we will be fully open for business in May and June; and don’t forget to use any gift cards you may still have. Come say farewell to our unbelievable team and raise a glass with us one more time.
With so much gratitude,
David & the My Cousin’s Family
