The Danforth area from Broadview eastward has historically been known in Toronto as Greektown. Beginning in the 1950s,
the area was populated by many Greek immigrants, many of whom set up businesses on the street that continue today.
Although the actual Greek population is less than in the past, the area retains a thriving Greek atmosphere, with many
lavish and delicious restaurants, bars and cafes. However, the Danforth remains a popular destination for those of Greek heritage
who no longer live in the neighbourhood. The Danforth is a neighbourhood always full of life, with many street festivals
such as the Taste of the Danforth and Sounds of the Danforth throughout the summer.
The Danforth is an excellent strip for an evening out, with a high concentration
of restaurants and bars from Broadview to Pape. Beyond Pape, the concentration lessens, but there are a few gems further
eastward, such as Sarah's and Mackie's.
Although Greece is not known for its microbrewed beers, the Danforth possesses quite a few establishments
where good beer can be found. Pubs such as
Allen's and Dora Keogh at Broadview have good imported draught selections, Cafe Brussel has an excellent selection
of Belgian, French and Quebecoise beer, and Beer Street, the sister pub of the Granite Brewery uptown, features
all their house ales downtown as well.
