Liberty Social Hour Noche CalienteOutside may have been freezing rain but things were heating up for the 7th Liberty Village Social Hour, at Williams Landing! On Thursday Jan 26th. Liberty Villagers bundled up and headed out to network, socialize and most importantly have fun!  Planned by Rod Ponce of RPC and Deb Lewis of CityEvents, Liberty Villagers were treated to a night of relaxation, amazing door prizes, and a signature Liberty Village cocktail courtesy of Williams Landing at Noche Caliente.  For one evening the January gloom melted away into the chic urban glamour of the neighborhoods’ hottest new restaurant. If you missed out on the action, the next Liberty Social Hour is in the works for April 2012.

 

The 100 or so guests ranged from young professionals enjoyed a post work signature Liberty Village cocktail, from marketing CEOs connecting,  to a retired couple out for an evening of fun. The attendees may have been varied but everyone had one thing in common: Liberty Village! Despite being the fastest growing district in Toronto Noche Caliente Liberty Social Hour perfectly captured the close-knit neighborhood spirit of the Village community.

Liberty Social Hour

Chatting with a six-year veteran of Liberty Village, Amelia Paddington, she filled us in on how she became a fixture at the Liberty Social hour. “My husband and I walked into the first one without a clue to what was going on and not knowing a soul, but by the end of the night we had met so many people, some of whom even lived in our building and we had never spoken to! It’s gotten so much bigger since that first social hour, but its community events like these that make me love where I live”.

 

Over 20 local businesses generously donated samples, gift cards, and coupons to promote the village and appreciate its residents. We would like to thank our wonderful sponsors: Williams Landing, Mercado, Vocado, Lust for Lashes, Portrait Dental, Dancelology, Brazen Head, Temple Kitchen, Bar Vespa, King West Fitness, Body Food, Magic Oven, Sell Off Vacations, The Floor Studio, Dining Date Night, Liberty Village Eye Care! Everyone left with a gift bag and a smile on their face.

 

Our wonderful photographers from CityEvents and RPC have posted all the glamour shots from the night at http://www.flickr.com/photos/cityeventstoronto and our video footage will be made available shortly! January may be the longest month of winter, but in Liberty Village they kicked the year off with a bang! Can’t wait for the next one!

Located in the heart of Liberty Village, its very own modern one-of-a-kind Japanese restaurant called Liberty Noodle. The restaurant serves healthy and nutritious Japanese inspired meals which include ramen and sushi with influences from far-off places like India, China and Thailand. The restaurant incorporates a clean and modern aesthetic, allowing the food to be the focus of their guest experience.

And speaking of guest experience, the owners of Liberty Noodle took part in a local networking event (Liberty Social Hour) and did an incredible job catering to their guests.

“Liberty Social hour is what it promises to be. The event was a huge success, a restaurant owner’s nightly wish. A good vibe, a great crowd- eclectic as the neighbourhood. Furthermore, the organizing team, lead during our event, by Jay Reyes, made it a walk in the park for me and my staff” said Sang Kim, Head Chef of Liberty Noodle.

A great place to enjoy great food with friends and co-workers, Liberty Noodle delivers a voyage of culinary travel through some of the most exciting foods of Asia.

“It was very nice of you to bring people together for Liberty Social Hour. This was a great opportunity to meet with my fellow community members and talk about the area. Liberty Social Hour exposed residents to the many great venues in their own backyard.” Mike Yen

“I must admit that I was really impressed with the networking sessions. I got business!!!!. My main objective in a networking is to find new leads. This Networking allowed me to gain new ideas and new approaches that I didn’t think of before.
It was amazing experience. I will definitely attend next year.” Alicia Galarza
