With a name that translates to "sweet melody," Raaga Restaurant conducts symphonies of Indian flavors that resonate sweetly throughout tongued auditoriums. The samosa appetizer provides a prelude to triumphant feasts, prepping palates with pastry stuffed with potatoes and green peas ($4.95). Offering a second wave of warmth to frostbitten taster buds, the lamb vindaloo presents a spicy plate of tender lamb cooked with fresh herbs, onion, red pepper, and tomatoes, served with Basmati rice pulao ($15.95). The chicken tikka masala occupies mandibles with charbroiled chunks of chicken cooked in a blend of the chef's secret spices ($14.95). For vegetarian victuals, try the paneer shashlik, featuring homemade cottage cheese charbroiled with fresh tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers in a Tandoori oven ($13.95). Raaga's artfully crafted entrees are enhanced by a vibrant dining area, which is festooned with musical instruments and paintings of musicians that beckon audible bites and celebratory yodels.

Raaga Restaurant

As customers might guess from looking at the wooden sitars and paintings of musicians hanging on the walls, raaga means "sweet melody." In the kitchen, chefs blend spices to create their own complex harmonies of northern Indian flavors. Clay ovens roast tandoori chicken along with shrimp and salmon fillets marinated in spices. Sixteen vegetarian specialties, including croquettes stuffed with raisins, cashews, and housemade cottage cheese, wait to be sopped up with nine different Indian breads and a selection of napkins. For dessert, servers deliver dishes of the signature mango kulfi, an ice cream flavored with mango and cardamom.

The Groupon Guide to: Hosting a Ball

As blistering summer gives way to blustering winter, indoor activities become all the rage—especially among high-society gown owners. Before you throw your next formal cotillion, make sure you have all the crucial ingredients necessary to literally have a ball:

Dance Cards: All guests must have, clipped to their belts, a small card-stock chip resembling a bingo card as well as a handheld single-hole punch, like the ones used by old-timey train conductors. This will help them keep track of who is in love with whom.

Hoop Skirts: Hoop skirts have never gone out of style, although modern bustles are no longer buttressed by ill-gotten whale baleen and ivory hippo spines. Provide eco-friendly hoop skirts to all guests in the form of helium-inflated burlap parachutes or hollowed-out mounds of Lucite-dipped hay.

An Ice Sculpture: Preferably of the host, holding another ice sculpture of himself as a baby.

Live Music: Though a four-piece chamber ensemble playing the greatest hits of the baroque era is traditional, you may want to consider alternatives appropriate to your theme. For instance, while hosting a Titanic-inspired costume ball, choose a band that is comfortable being slowly submerged in ice water. If it is a Halloween or New Year's Eve ball, hire a skeleton to play its own rib cage.

Where can you still buy hoop skirts?
