Whether you’re attending an event or planning one, the experience of a cocktail party, book signing, intimate dinner, or product launch has transformed into a near-unrecognizable one over this past year. From exquisitely designed themed dinners to
The Sims–esque interactions with others at virtual parties, new and evolved ways of hosting—and celebrating—are rivaling their IRL counterparts. Here, AD PRO rounds up some of the most exciting virtual events platforms and experiences to know about now.
The Dinner Party 2.0
“We like to say, ‘When COVID-19 gave us lemons, we made limoncello!’” says Meghan McNeer, creative director of Project Bon Vivant, or, in her words, “your ‘good times’ concierge.” PBV creates themed virtual events wherever there is access to Zoom, with food, wine, and entertainment that are anything but static. The platform aligns with chefs, sommeliers, makers, and musicians to create custom themed evenings (think Southern Soiree, with ribs, pulled pork, and pecan pie from Alabama’s famed Dreamland Bar-B-Cue; or Pizza Party, with pizzas from Nicoletta NYC and either a comedian or magician on hand to entertain). The proceeds benefit the James Beard Foundation organization charity Open for Good.

Deeply sensory, food memoryâthe flavors and smells of dishes we've enjoyed in the pastâis inextricably linked to the excitement and joy of travel itself. So there is perhaps no greater gift to send a loved one than a taste from a special time on the road. And thanks to a slew of online delivery options, you can send them food from all corners of the country. From New Orleans beignets to Chicago deep dish pizza to the gravlax of New York City, order and ship an edible reminder of travel for the next birthday, anniversary, or holiday on your calendar. Below, 23 of the best shippable food gifts.

The all-seafood Italian Christmas Eve dinner has acquired a more general audience. In this year of the pandemic, there are options for home delivery. Amali on the Upper East Side is offering the seven courses, including octopus, lobster bisque, spaghetti with clams and butter-poached lobster, $145 per person for pickup or delivery (10-mile radius of the restaurant). There are six courses but seven different fish in Hearth’s feast to go from the East Village, available for pickup. Destination Home is a new dinner service specializing in delivered special-occasion meals, with instructions for heating and plating. This feast from Olivier Cheng and Jennifer Zabinski includes a cocktail, bacala fritters, seafood salad, cioppino, lobster risotto and mustard-crusted branzino. The meal is delivered with place cards, cocktail napkins and other extras, including music, within about 100 miles of New York.
