Are the blooms falling off, ovary and all. eggplant like tomatoes take a day or so to show blooming. They are self pollinating, so nothing you do on that score except maybe gently shake the plant to dislodge the pollen. Should not be a problem in NYC, but excess heat ( above 95 degrees F) will inhibit pollination. White eggplant is a little more tricky than the purple types.
