Richmond Hill Map

We visited the Maha Lakshmi Mandir on 121st and 101 avenue. Unfortunately, the mandir was closed and we could not go inside it. The mandir represents the how the Guyanese culture expresses Hinduism in Richmond Hill. 

We visited the "Little Guyana Bake Shop" in Richmond Hill that is located on 116-04 Liberty Avenue. The bake shop has a wide variety of both sweets and meals. We tried Doubles, which is a sandwich made with 2 flat breads filled with curry channa. 

We visited Spice World Inc., a small grocery store that provides Guyanese, West Indian, Indian and Pakistani food items The grocery store, although small in size, is packed with food items nonetheless. The workers were very nice and showed us around the place and telling us about common Guyanese food items and drinks. 

Anita's Fashion was a place filled with Indian suits! Anita herself was very nice and let us tour her store which also included traditional Hindu religious shrines and also jewelry items. The store layout, which can be seen below, was filled with items from the second someone enters the store. 

Richmond Hill High School is the high school where a majority of students from the Richmond Hill area attend due to it being there "zoned school." Thus, the school has a large population of both Guyanese, Indian and West-Indian students. Unfortunately, the high school was closed because we visited the area on a Saturday.  

Phil Rizzuto Park, or better known as Smokey Park, is a park in the heart of Richmond Hill. Instead of common sports such as basketball and baseball, kids can be seen playing common West Indian games such as cricket. Additionally, the park serves as a cultural hub where locales can come and greet one another.
