Entrepreneurialism in New York City is by no means homogenous. The different ethnic groups that inhabit the city have their own set of needs, appetites, and preferences. Ethnic entrepreneurialism is therefore imperative for not only fulfilling the demands of the various ethnic groups in the city, but also strengthening  the bond between immigrants and their native countries.  The profound attachment of West Indian immigrants to their native countries along with their pronounced presence in New York City translates into a wide range of ethnic businesses that operate in West Indian neighborhoods. Caribbean restaurants, supermarkets, transportation lines, and beauty salons located in Queens and Brooklyn prove to be profitable for entrepreneurs, while allowing immigrants to revive their unique culture. Although many Caribbean businesses focus on profits, others are more solicitous about cultural preservation . Moreover, the multifaceted entrepreneurialism of Caribbean immigrants illustrates how significant ethnicity is in influencing their economic affairs. The businesses located on the map are just some examples of Caribbean entrepreneurialism’s profound connection to community.
