At the sexy Thompson Toronto hotel, this classic diner with a modern twist is open 21 hours a day (it serves all-day breakfast). Whenever you're there, there'll likely be good people-watching to be had: this is nightclub territory. Comfort food is also a sure thing. Will it be peameal eggs Benedict or buttermilk fried chicken with cheddar mash for breakfast?
