Yeah, New York would come close though, there are a lot of Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and Dominicans in New York. Thats why I was saying Miami and New York have similar demographics, just NY's asian population is higher.

I never really considered New Orleans to have much caribbean culture, and if it does, it's not on Miami or New York's level.

Maimi? Not sure where that is, but Miami should definitely win this poll. NYC is up there but it is so big it is a conglomerate of several cultures, Jewish, Black, Italian among others. Miami, has some of everything but its Caribbean especially Haitian and Cuban are way up there.

Connecticut?

I'd say Miami & New York are about tied. Where I used to live (South Queens) was practically dominated by Caribbean nations such as Jamaica, Guyana, Haiti, Belize, Trinidad, etc., I'd say 65-80% of everyone was affiliated with these countries in some kind of way. There's so many different Caribbean restaurants.

My old school was mostly more Spanish speaking Caribbean (PR, DR, etc.), although I hate that place with a passion I know a lot of Spanish, so much that I can speak a little "Spanglish".

Miami vs Queens would be interesting, but Queens is ultra-diverse and has a higher population so that would skew things.

No, California has ALOT of Puerto Ricans also. And Cali has the 10th HIGHEST Haitian population. I rather live out there than live in the east-coast to be honest.
