A month into life under mandated social distancing, New Yorkers have been adjusted to this new reality by moving their social lives online.

From virtual dance parties with live D.J. sets to dinners and recipe-sharing over Zoom, they’ve shown that social distancing doesn’t mean giving up social interaction. In fact, it can be a reminder that we are all in this together, and participating in online events can help support local businesses that are now economically vulnerable.

Here are some suggestions for maintaining a New York social life this weekend while keeping a safe distance from other humans:

Friday

‘Care in the Time of Coronavirus’

At 1 p.m., join a collaborative tweet chat on community care with the New York City-based Asian American Feminist Collective and Bluestockings Bookstore. The conversation will explore themes from their new zine, “Asian American Feminist Antibodies: Care in the Time of Coronavirus.”

Follow the hashtag #FeministAntibodies for the conversation and visit the collective’s Twitter page for more details.

Pantry Challenge with the chef Eric Kwan

Are you low on groceries and stumped on what to cook? Send over five pantry ingredients to Eric Kwan, the chef at the Museum of Food and Drink, for his weekly Pantry Challenge, and he might whip up a recipe for you to try at home. At 3 p.m., watch a cooking demonstration with a recipe inspired by ingredients in a viewer’s kitchen. For more information on how to submit pantry ingredients, go to the event page.

Visit the museum’s Instagram page for the live stream.

Bandits on the Run live concert

Bandits on the Run, a Brooklyn-based trio used to busking in subway stations, is trading its usual venue for the great indoors. At 7 p.m., the acoustic, indie-pop group will perform a concert live on its social media accounts.

You can access the performance on the group’s Instagram and Facebook pages.

Saturday

Nether Meant: An evening in Minecraft

Elsewhere, a live-music venue, nightclub and art space in Brooklyn, is hosting a music festival — in a video game.

Starting at 6 p.m., participants can enter the world of Minecraft and attend Nether Meant, a virtual music festival. The event will be headlined by the band American Football and will include performances from Anamanaguchi, HANA and others.

Staged in a digitally scaled replica of Elsewhere, Nether Meant is free, but participants can purchase V.I.P. passes to access special areas and in-game merchandise. All proceeds from the passes will benefit coronavirus relief efforts at Good360, a nonprofit organization. Those who can’t join the game can watch the festival on the Twitch live stream.

For more information on how to participate, visit the event page.

The Diaspora Co. Kitchen 2.0: ‘Indian-ish’ edition
