Toronto lost its share of venerated greasy spoons last year, but Avenue Diner, the 77-year-old restaurant on Davenport Road, is determined to hold on.
Slinging clubhouse sandwiches and plates of home fries, the business has been holding down the northwest corner of Av and Dav since 1944. For owner Louis Klasios, the diner is all he knows.
Bu there's a new development from Greybrook Realty Partners slated for that same corner. Earlier this year, the developer closed a deal on five properties on the block, with plans to build a luxury high-rise.
