Love is in the air, and it’s not just for your sweetheart and loved ones. Show some of our local businesses some love! Everything you need for wooing is right around the corner.
Some ideas: (this list is just the tip of the iceberg!)
Royal Beef – 1968 Danforth
Staying in? Whatever you want for dinner, you should buy it from here. Seriously..and lunch…and breakfast.
Sweet Serendipity Bake Shop – 1335 Danforth
This is a relatively new shop just west of Coxwell, and if you haven’t been GO.THERE.NOW. Honestly, this is the kind of place that every neighbourhood yearns for. For Valentine’s Day they even have a special spicy red velvet cupcake!
Len: Democratic Purveyors of Fine Art & Beautiful Things – 698 Coxwell
A few doors north of Danforth, this store full of beautiful things owned by local couple Christal and David will have the perfect gift for the man or woman on your list (including yourself!). They’ve kindly written their own Valentine’s Day post so you can get a sneak preview of what’s on offer.
Artisans at Work – 2071 Danforth (at Woodbine)
Own Tara is a talented jewellery designer, which is a great start but it doesn’t stop there. This space is brimming with unique and beautiful one-of-a-kind gifts created by artists and artisans. Warning: you will need time to look at everything and you’ll want to buy it all.
Melanie’s Bistro – 1870 Danforth
Delicious three course meals or just stop in for dessert!
NaNa Florist – 2454 Danforth (east of Woodbine)
Because, flowers.
Jenny’s Floral Boutique – 1898 Danforth (across from East Lynn Park)
Because, flowers.
This list is only the beginning – bundle up and take a stroll to see all of the wonderful shops for yourself.
If you don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day, celebrate the fact that we made it half way through February and it’s a long weekend!!
Great post! You rock with the locals. Love the way you handled “tip of the iceberg”, nicely done. Gay
