About this audio guide
The Lakeview Diner in Toronto has served coffee since 1932, its neon Always Open sign a promise to night-shift workers from a nearby factory. The guide follows how a 2018 Oscars shoutout for The Shape of Water turned this diner into one of the city's most film-friendly sets, hosting close to a production a month before the pandemic. The orange vinyl stool covers came from that shoot, and the hanging lamps above the booths arrived with Netflix's Jupiter's Legacy.
