The Grinch might’ve stolen Christmas, but this Grinch-themed holiday pop-up in New Jersey has stolen our hearts. For a limited time, Cucina Calandra has transformed into a full-on Whoville-inspired holiday pop-up complete with immersive decor, themed cocktails, photo ops, and a touch of Grinchy mischief. Aptly named Grinch’s Grotto, the pop-up runs now until January 4th (and is booking up fast) at 216 U.S Highway 46 East in Fairfield. Read on to learn more about Grinch’s Grotto, Cucina Calandra’s holiday pop-up experience in Fairfield, New Jersey.
About Grinch’s Grotto
Canonically, the Grinch lives in a cave atop Mount Crumpit, literally and figuratively looking down on Whoville. But in New Jersey, the Grinch’s Grotto is a lot more inviting: a beloved Italian restaurant in Fairfield decked out with tinsel, twinkling lights, garland, and decor that is both whimsical and mischievous (much like Mr. Grinch himself).
Cucina Calandra returns with its annual Grinch’s Grotto pop-up, running now through January 4th. The pop-up is always a hit in North Jersey, drawing in locals with themed food, drinks, and seasonal bites.
