Toronto's historic GreekTown also known as GreekTown on the Danforth is centred along Danforth Avenue between Dewhurst Boulevard and Chester Avenue.
GreekTown is one of the largest Greek communities in North America. In recent years it has become more cosmopolitan than in the past having not only a wide array of traditional Greek eateries, but also boasting many cafes and restaurants with cuisine from around the world.
