Reference information:
I'm not certain - I posted this as a discussion entry and now I think it might be more of a reference. If so, I do apologise to the moderator and to everyone else for the confusion.

'The talk of the town' is not only an idiom, but also a time-honoured and much-used phrase in the entertainments industry. In one of its more famous manifestations, there was a cabaret restaurant in London, the Talk of the Town (cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippodrome,_London).

For more examples of the showbiz usage, cf. http://tinyurl.com/ykcv2rx, where it can be found in any number of entertainment contexts for further research :-)
