| Madina Masjid: ★★★★ I visit this mosque regularly. It is conveniently located with reasonable ablution facilities downstairs. The management is Bangladeshi, and so you will hear that language spoken. The management is quite elderly, and this is one of the older established mosques in Manhattan. Parking in the neighbourhood is possible if you are early, if you are late, taxis usually fill up the empty spaces because taxi drivers pray here. There is usually a halal food vendor outside the mosque, and someone selling islamic goods during the day. One of the nicest things about this mosque is the 'eid gaah' which in recent years (weather permitting) has been prayed in the little school yard directly next door to the mosque. It provides a wonderful perspective on how an urban community of Muslims has adapted to the Manhattan environment. They usually have some prayer facilities for ladies at the Eidgaah. Stop by the mosque if you need local news (there is a notice board), as well as newspapers etc. which are always circulated there. (Submitted on May 6, 2009) |
| Islamic Cultural Center of New York: ★★★★★ By far the landmark of places of worship for Muslims in NYC. If you are visiting NYC for even one day you should make this a must see, for the architecture and spirituality of this place. Its a pity that the main prayer area is not open for all salaat every day, instead they use the lower prayer hall which is more convenient, and well-worn. There is a store, loads of food sellers outside on a Friday, and plenty of information always at hand. Ladies facilities on a Friday and at Eid are good. It can be congested when entering/leaving, so keep your shoes with you. The nearest subway stop (only one block away) is the 6 (green) train, and the M15 and M103 buses also run very close to the mosque. (Submitted on May 6, 2009) |
