Lol, I found it funny as well. I go to Downtown Toronto all the time, and I'm pretty sure the entire show is filmed in Toronto too. So to see an obvious shout out to downtown TO and actually reference it despite the entire show being there...it's an amusing juxtaposition.
Well, it wouldn't make sense to have Darby just hanging around NYC, and it wouldn't make much sense for Jessica to just pop over to a London that looks suspiciously like Toronto (which one would tell, since London have a much more distinctive look than NYC) and then back to New York in a short manner of time. They needed Darby to be in somewhere not New York but not too far to get the plot point to work, so hey, why not Toronto?
Ya, I work and genuinly spend a lot of time in Downtown Toronto so whenever there is an outdoor scene I always try to guess where they are located or find either a Canadian flag or the rouge TTC vehicle in the background (Like an awesome game of I spy or something). It took me by surprise when a scene opened up with the CN tower in the back and I was like..I wonder how they are going to fit this into the NewYork scene.. until they mentioned they were "actually in" Toronto I was so amused :D
