Walking Toronto's Greektown & Danforth w/

[@deborahs.9389]

So big of a city to cover!!! Halfway through October already 🍁

[@ActionKid]

That's true, it's a large city

[@rosaannarilli4905]

Hi ActionKid, many moons ago, I would take Davisville Station which is close to where Johnny lives to Broadview Station to catch the streetcar to school. This was really fun ActionKid, I really enjoyed this walk with You, Johnny and Ken, hope you do more together! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! Sorry, I am not so good in writing comments!👍👍

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome! I really enjoyed this walk too, it was a lot of fun

[@angeliki70]

You missed Demetres at 400 Danforth, that’s Greek pastry desserts, you passed by it, then Athens pastries 509 Danforth , across the street, and Serrano bakery on 830 Pape ave., north on Danforth. To name the most known

[@LAbee333]

Always love seeing you guys together or separate, love that quaint little greektown learned a lot from the locals about the architecture and food... I have a special fondness and fascination for Greek stuff we just tried a new little cafe here in the San Fernando valley called Pozis, right after Yom Kippur, was quite good! 🇬🇷🍽️🇬🇷

[@ActionKid]

The Greektown had so much to see, glad I got to see it

That's a nice intro with all three of you in the video, and I love how Ken and Ken were rocking the blue flannels! 😂💙 9:22 Astoria Restaurant, it's like AK never left home. 😁 It was nice to see the shops, restaurants, street art in Greektown. Thank you for sharing this fun and informative collaboration with Johnny and Ken, Ken! 🤗

[@ActionKid]

Thanks for watching! I tried Astoria Restaurant afterwards and it was good!

[@Neville60001]

2:07-To the left is where Wong's Camera used to be, IIRC.

[@luanreisoliveira620]

Very nice video of the three of you together. It's very cool.

[@ActionKid]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@luanreisoliveira620]

It's always a pleasure to watch the videos

[@leandroantelo7154]

The three musketeers

[@brucemacmillan9581]

This was my neighbourhood for quite a number of years up until 2005 when I moved back to Vancouver. For a while I lived on Ferrier, about a half a block north of Danforth. Then I moved over to Pape Ave. about 2 1/2 blocks south of Danforth. Danforth looks not that much different from when I lived there. Probably some of the bars and restaurants I frequented are gone now. Places like The Auld Spot, Silk Road (Asian food), The Willow Restaurant (Mexican food), and Dora Keogh's (Irish Bar). They were (or are, if they're still there) on the south side of D. As you were mostly recording on the north side, I couldn't tell. The Carrot Common looks pretty much the same from what I could see as you passed by. The Astoria has been there, like, forever. Etc.

[@ActionKid]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing your experiences with your old neighborhood

[@brucemacmillan9581]

@@ActionKid After a bit of Googling, it looks like those places on the south side of Danforth are still happening, with the exception of Silk Road.

[@rosaannarilli4905]

Hi ActionKid, just so you know, the Hudson Bay Department Store in Johnny stream would be like your Macy's in Manhattan.🏬

[@ActionKid]

Very cool

[@brucemacmillan9581]

The Only is apparently still happening. It was a great venue for Sunday night live music for awhile before I left Toronto.

[@ActionKid]

[@chrisg.2715]

I see they’ve gotten you saying Toronno 😊😊

[@therealerickmendoza]

Best Content 🙂

[@mahamaysam]

Hello ActionKid!

[@Nunavuter1]

This is a wonderful scene 19:24

[@C-mac_in_the_6ix]

Did you and Ken call each other in the morning to plan those shirts?

[@pesttechDoc]

I saw this question asked many times but never saw an answer. Did Ak move back to the NYC area?

[@GreekboyyD]

Dylan Bar, The Wren and The Sauce are all great spots.

[@brucemacmillan9581]

No. Pape Market is not Greek specific. But you can get Greek food items there.

[@Neville60001]

21:16-Why can't a subway entrance for the Ontario Line be built *_on the street_* itself, like the one at the corner of Yonge and King (near where the Sleep Country location is)?

[@annalisavajda252]

I love that area I used to live at Pape and Langley Ave. and could walk to my job at Second Cup Coffee cup on the Danforth but if I had to open at 5 am my boss used to pay for me to take a taxi with float money for my safety so considerate that was in 2000. I loved the carrot common across the street too that's how I got into essential oils and aromatherapy they have great organic products too. I was horrified when that area was all shot up 5 years ago.

[@21stcenturyMoments]

Passed Eastenders. That's a British soap opera.

[@Makeamove2.100]

How did you learn about Danny, Kathy, Rudy ...?

[@rephaelrechitzky9763]

I love the buildings here, rather than the ugly high rise buildings. I like the idea of preserving the low rise buildings with the little stores and restaurants. The city realized it was ruing Toronto by taking these buildings down too fast and destroying the past. In other countries those small buildings were protected.

[@TheTroyc1982]

The problem is that these building seat on top of the subway and it's a very inefficient use of space/housing to have these building here when a high rise with retail at the base would serve Toronto much better. There is a reason not a lot of Yonge people live in that area and it's because all the old people own the housing. new development would be more life to the area with a younger and more plentiful population.

[@michaelchin3550]

30,000 steps for AK is a normal day.

[@randyruck2793]

[@randyruck2793]

[@GreekboyyD]

[@JoseMendes-Toronto]

Greek town is not Greek town no more, it is disappearing, I won't waste my time going there ever again
