Deep winter is a good time to get into dips and fondues. They are easy and communal (for your safe little pod at home), and can be rich, decadent, and celebratory or junky and naughty for couch-tatering and watching sports.

New Year's Eve dinner offerings from Lulu Kitchen, Nick and Toni's, and Bell and Anchor are on the table as well as a virtual cooking class from Stefanie Sacks.

Since March, the Willem de Kooning Foundation has provided $550,000 in grants and challenge grants to several East End organizations, with a focus on Springs, to address hunger, child care, and medical care. That is in addition to contributions of $2.15 million to the much broader arts community.

With less gathering and more cocooning this holiday season, don't forget the rich trove of virtual offerings by South Fork's arts organizations when it's time to cozy up to the couch.
