Neighbor Dining is a new social dining concept conceived of by creative artist Luong Lu and European energy provider Vattenfall.
The idea is to use a social media platform that integrates with Foursquare to cut down on the loneliness of living alone, energy waste from cooking dinners for one, and the cost of food.
While some people have remarked that this seems implausible, the New York Times ran an article this summer, Saving Time and Stress With Cooking Co-ops, which demonstrates how it is already happening offline.
