Caribbean Culture in the Bronx
The Bronx is home to a massive Caribbean community that doesn’t always get the spotlight it deserves. Neighborhoods like Parkchester, Morris Heights, and Fordham have significant Jamaican, Trinidadian, and Guyanese populations, while the Haitian community has deep roots throughout the borough.
The Bronx Caribbean food scene is authentic and affordable, with family-run restaurants serving generous portions of home-style cooking. This is also where you’ll find some of the best Haitian food in the city.
