Right now, practicing social distancing is important to keep everyone safe and healthy. But, according to the CDC, social distancing can make people feel isolated and lonely, which can increase stress and anxiety. It can be an incredibly lonely time for many people, especially those who live in high-rise urban buildings.
There are about 500 apartment communities such as this in the Boston area.
Now with Phase 3 opening in Massachusetts, Plate Nextdoor has come up with a hybrid model for private events in food, art and music by local instructors for apartment communities.
The hybrid model, in which the instructor is virtual and projected on a screen, gives a little bit of freedom for residents to meet people in their community, with gatherings of 15 to 20 now allowed in lobby or lounge areas, with proper safety guidelines followed.
The next such class is Oct. 1 at Echelon Seaport, the newest luxury apartments in the most happening Seaport District in Boston. Residents of Echelon will gather in the lobby to learn to make beautiful fall wreaths using silk flowers and greens for their new homes with Plate Nextdoor’s virtual instructor.
In the Boston area, Plate Nextdoor delivers all materials or ingredients needed for each of these events to the management directly from Amazon, a supermarket or local farms to prevent spread of contamination. All management needs to do is send an email to their residents and all residents need to do is RSVP and attend. Plate Nextdoor takes care of the rest!
It’s part of the “COVID Social Evolution” Plate Nextdoor is promoting to build communities and educate people on cultural diversity.

Plate Nextdoor has seen growth in virtual ticket sales as communities embrace the new era of social gatherings. The feedback received from the community for virtual events has been stupendous.
