Day 1: the essentials
Day one covers the main sights: the outdoor opener, the cultural anchor, and a good dinner.
100 Workers
100 Workers is one of those Richmond Hill landmarks worth seeing in person. Fold it into the afternoon when the light is good and the pace can relax.
Day 2: go deeper
Slow down on day two. Revisit a favorite, then see what you missed the first time around.
126 Pape Avenue
Don't skip 126 Pape Avenue. It's the kind of local landmark that gives a town its character, and it fits neatly between lunch and dinner.
19 Draprr Street
Don't skip 19 Draprr Street. It's the kind of local landmark that gives a town its character, and it fits neatly between lunch and dinner.
