I'm 24 and at the point where I'm considering driving my own stake in the ground for the first time since dorming for college. I much prefer giving business to small businesses over the large chains and I'm curious as to which neighborhoods have the highest concentration of the mom-and-pop variety stores. I'll be making six figures in a couple of years so income isn't (or shouldn't be, hopefully, maybe) a huge issue.

What will you be selling? Look at neighborhoods that are reasonably affluent - Bayside, Bay Ridge, Little Neck, etc.

I think they will be buying, not selling. They just want to support the locally owned places.

Honestly, I find that there is a mix in most neighborhoods of chains vs individually owned places. And you don't have to do all of your shopping in your immediate neighborhood anyway.
