Quick Facts Owner, Maintained by ...

A portion of Liberty Avenue in South Richmond Hill is known as "Little Guyana-Trinidad" because it runs through an Indo-Caribbean American neighborhood with mostly Indo-Guyanese and Indo-Trinidadian and Tobagonian cultures and people there. Indian clothing stores, puja stores, roti shops, Caribbean bakeries, Hindu temples, mosques, and other Indo-Caribbean American businesses are on this portion of Liberty Avenue. Parallel to Liberty Avenue is 101st Avenue which was renamed Little Punjab, due its similar presence of Punjabi and other South Asian cultures.[2][3]

Liberty Avenue was co-named "Little Guyana Avenue" on May 29, 2021.[4]

Transportation

The IND Fulton Street Line (A train) runs above the avenue between 80th Street and Lefferts Boulevard. Also, there is a station on the IND Fulton Street Line named Liberty Avenue (A and ​C trains).

The Q83 and Q112 buses serve the street in Queens; no buses run along it in Brooklyn.[5][6]
