@newyorknico: At just 11 years old, McDonald Romain, better known as “Big Mac,” was already a businessman. Growing up on the Caribbean island of Carriacou, he would take a small boat on a four-hour journey to trade cows for fruit, which he’d bring back to the island and sell. At 17, he moved to New York City, where his hustle continued. He eventually noticed that despite Brooklyn’s large Caribbean population, there were very few places selling the fruits and vegetables he grew up with. So in 2005, he opened Labay Market on Nostrand Avenue in Flatbush, in the heart of what’s now known as Little Caribbean. Today, Labay is a neighborhood institution, carrying an incredible selection of tropical fruits and vegetables like soursop, sugar apple, jackfruit, breadfruit, guava, tamarind, and many others. Much of his produce comes directly from his family’s farm in Grenada. Big Mac describes Labay as a “home away from home” for the residents of Little Caribbean. More than just a market, it’s a place where people can reconnect with the flavors and culture of the islands. Big Mac is doing the Lord’s work. @labaymarket
