The apartment complex showcased throughout the film, especially during the action packed climax, is located in Toronto’s historic Danforth neighbourhood. Known to locals as “Greektown”, “Little Athens” or “The Danforth”, this neighbourhood is one of the largest Greek neighbourhoods in North America and one of the most popular culinary destinations in the city. Grab a delicious gyro to go at Messini, share some flaming saganaki cheese with friends at Mezes, or savour a full Greek feast at Pantheon Restaurant. This eclectic neighbourhood is also famous for the Taste of the Danforth food festival, and the legendary Danforth Music Hall, which was designated as an Ontario Heritage Site.

Ted’s Restaurant

Early in the film, Garrett and Connor reconnect and have a tense exchange at a stylish vintage diner. This retro eatery is the famous Ted’s Restaurant, which has been serving up delicious diner classics like triple decker sandwiches, all day breakfast and milkshakes to residents of Toronto’s Highland Creek neighbourhood since 1954. Nearby, you can find smokehouse Northern Smokes and enjoy some authentic wood smoked barbeque like Montréal-style brisket, beef back ribs and smoked chicken wings. After a delicious meal, take a leisurely stroll along the riverside trails at Colonel Danforth Park and visit the historic Miller Lash House in the centre of the park.
