DINE. Cook on Christmas? Why not throw out conventionality this holiday and dine out on the big day? New York Central restaurant inside the Grand Hyatt hotel on 42nd St. is offering a Christmas and New YearΓÇÖs Eve menu (with 6 pm and 9 pm seatings). The DivaGals dined there recently and enjoyed a wonderfully hearty meal of shrimp and grits (in NYC, no less!), salad, scallops, steak and an incredible apple pie dessert. The staff is warm and attentive ΓÇô ask for the server who pours olive oil divinely ΓÇô the food plentiful and the location, Grand Station central! Call to make your reservation now. New York Central, 109 East 42nd St., (646) 213-6865. See more pics of our fabulous meal on the DivaGals Facebook page.

STYLE. Why should your notebooks be drab? At www.Maybooks.com from May Designs, you can find notebooks and cards with covers that offer a punch of color and a pop of pizzazz. You can personalize your covers with monograms, and customize the inside for a book that’s uniquely you, for only $17!
