• Where Was Tony Filmed? The Cape Cod Spots That Inspired the Legend (cntraveler.com subscription) — Some key classroom scenes in the new Anthony Bourdain-inspired film were actually shot at Wheaton College in Norton, even though the story is set on Cape Cod. While most filming took place in Provincetown and Dennis, the production also used locations in Brockton and Plymouth, giving Norton a quiet cameo in a very Cape-focused movie.
