As much as we're making do with digital get-togethers to fulfill our need for social interaction, some things just aren't the same. Like, for example, the foundational experience of commenting on the canapés, or bonding over the cheese plate. Nothing brings people together quite like sharing a meal, and in this time of social distancing, it's one of the things we miss the most. Until now!
Celebratory bites are back on the table thanks to the brilliant launch of "virtual catering" services. In an effort to adapt to clients' changing needs, five-star bespoke catering company Tastings has come up with Tastings 2.0, a service to organize tailored, small or large virtual cocktails and meals, which could happen simultaneously in New York City, the Hamptons and Miami.
"We needed to imagine the way people and businesses could entertain now that they cannot gather anymore," explains the founder and owner of Tastings Alexandra Morris. "If someone wants to invite to his or her virtual home colleagues, friends or family members for a special dinner or a birthday—and wants to delegate the care of every little detail—we can make it possible by delivering every invitee in the privacy of their homes the same food, already plated, as if they were attending a white-glove event or sitting at nice restaurant."
Virtual hosts with the most can rest easy knowing that their curated menu is packaged and prepared by Tastings' experienced chefs, with all necessary safety precautions taken. And in addition to feeling closer to family and friends, you'll also be doing some major good. Tastings 2.0 has partnered with City Harvest's ‘Skip Lunch Fight Hunger’ initiative to donate 20% of all proceeds to provide nourishing meals to children in need across NYC.
