Valentine’s Day is almost here, and Emery Village is the perfect place to embrace the spirit of
love and community. Instead of heading downtown, why not celebrate right here at home by
creating a special meal with fresh ingredients from our trusted local shops?
Cooking at home can be a heartfelt way to show your love, whether for a partner, family, or
friends. Emery Village has some wonderful butchers to help make your meal truly exceptional.
Globe Meats Fresh Market and Grill on 61 Signet Drive is known for its top-quality cuts and
Italian specialties. They have everything from tender steaks to fresh sausages that are sure to
inspire your Valentine’s dinner.
Another excellent option is Domenic’s Quality Meats in the Italian Plaza at 2965 Islington
Avenue. This local gem has been a trusted source of high-quality meats for years. Their friendly
service and expert recommendations ensure you’ll find the perfect ingredients to make your
meal unforgettable.
Round out your feast by picking up fresh produce or baked goods from our centrally located
grocery store, Grande Cheese Market located at 181 Milvan Dr. Add a few candles, some soft
music, and perhaps a nice bottle of wine, and you’ve got the recipe for a cozy, romantic evening
right here in the neighbourhood.
Everybody loves chocolates and sweets. Delight your loved one with chocolates from Aurora
Retail outlet, boasting a selection of top brands, including sugar-free options. Aurora Importing
at 350 Clayson Rd, North York, offers a vast selection of specialty foods, snacks, and sweets to
create a unique gift basket. Customize it with a bottle of wine from your local LCBO or choose
from their beautiful premade baskets for all occasions.
Valentine’s Day isn’t just for couples, it’s also an opportunity to share love with family and
friends. Why not get the kids involved by baking heart-shaped cookies or hosting a build-your-
own-pizza night? These small but meaningful gestures can make everyone feel special.
Emery Village might be known for its industrial roots, but it’s also a place of strong community
ties and heartwarming traditions. This Valentine’s Day, let’s celebrate the simple joys of good
food, great company, and the homegrown love that makes Emery so unique.
Happy Valentine’s Day, Emery Village.
