Taj on Fifth
Taj on Fifth is one of the newest additions to the Grandview dining scene. The bistro and bar opened in September, offering a new approach to Indian cuisine. Using spices made in-house, fresh ingredients and traditional cooking techniques, Taj brings a modern flair to classic Indian dishes. With a complete bar and dining space and a covered patio, Taj is perfect for date nights, a special celebration or a casual dinner. However, for those craving a night in, Taj also offers carryout. Share small plates, such as fried salmon sticks and chicken tikka salad, or large plates, such as its signature grilled masala lamb chop and Taj stuffed paneer.

New Year's Eve
Looking for a guilty pleasure to enjoy before the ball drops? The 2011 romantic comedy, New Year’s Eve, follows the lives of several people on New Year’s Eve in New York City as they encounter a variety of obstacles. Directed by Garry Marshall, the film resembles his other holiday films, Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day, which also feature an ensemble cast with split stories. Although the plotline may not have high-stakes drama or dramatic twists, its impressive cast list (including Zac Efron, Halle Berry and Jon Bon Jovi, to name a few) and multiple storylines make for a fun and comforting movie to end the year with.
