THE DAY TORONTO TURNED GREEK

Спорт

On July 4th, 2004 Greece shockingly won their first Euro title. The Danforth, also known as Greektown, erupted in celebration. We met up with a few locals to learn what that special day meant to them. And while some of the traditional Greek establishments are no longer around, we visited a couple legendary spots that still remain.
A big thank you goes to Athens Restaurant & Panathinaikos Fan Club for hosting us.

    2004 was the best year for Greece ! One month after Euro, we hosted the Olympic Games. I was 10 years old, we were on vacation in Zakynthos. I will NEVER forget that night ! It's one of the best memories of my life ! I was so little, but I remember everything.

    I gather the doctor in the video is wearing the scrubs because he has no patients. A proper responsible MD would not be wearing scrubs outside a hospital or office setting especially in a public space like a restaurant where germs can spread easily…
