Dear Friends,
During the Christmas and New Year period, Restaurant Relax will be closed for a short family break.
This year is special for us — our family is visiting from Poland with children, and for them it’s their very first time in New York.
There’s something truly magical about experiencing the world through children’s eyes.
When everything is new — the lights, the streets, the snow, the scale of the city —
their pure joy and excitement become contagious, making all of us feel as if we’re discovering New York for the very first time again.
We want to show them the magic we all know so well:
✨ the Christmas lights of Manhattan
✨ giant trees and festive window displays
✨ skating rinks, carolers, and holiday music
✨ snowy streets (hopefully!) and the real American winter
They dream of seeing NYC dressed for the holidays, traveling deeper into the continent to feel winter in its full strength, building their first American snowman, warming up with hot chocolate, and collecting memories they’ll carry for a lifetime.
Relax has always been about home, family, and warmth — and for a few days, we are choosing to live exactly that.
Thank you for understanding and for being part of our extended Relax family 💛
We’ll be back refreshed, grateful, and ready to cook for you again very soon.
Wishing you a peaceful, joyful holiday season ✨
— Team Relax
