Ramadhan Iftar and Mosque Suggestions
Salam everyone.
So myself being new to NYC does anyone have a recommendation for:
1. Iftar places near Brooklyn Heights. I work near Metrotech Center in Brooklyn and would love to find a halal restaurant nearby.
2. Mosques in Manhattan. Are there any near Central Park South and 6th Ave?
Any suggestions appreciated.

There is also an Egyptian brother in front of the Marriot who sells halal checken and lamb gyros. He is usually there until 5:30pm only. Very good food, but not helpful if you will be fasting during the day.
Hope this helps.
I think there is a desi restaurant (halal) around 34th and eigth
if you go to that one, please keep in mind that there are quiet a few speakers in each room and so mueththin sounds extremely loud.
There's a small mosque not far from "A" train's Nostrand Avenue stop...It's on Mason Street, do not remember the exact address...The main mosque in Brooklyn is called "Brooklyn Mosque" and is at 543 Atlantic Ave.
Anything near penn station?
Best place to check is www. zabihah.com. I work in the financial district near a halal arab restaurant: Alfanoose. Usually go to the mosque near my home in Jersey City.
There is also Masjid Al-Farah in Manhattan off of the Franklin Street stop. Do a search on Zabihah and it gives you a tons of listing for NYC area. Only two mosques I know of...Masjid Al-Farah and the main one on 96th street and 3rd ave.
Oh yeah...I believe there is a mosque near the Atlantic Ave shopping Center. There are some islamic stores on Atlantic ave near 3rd ave in Brooklyn. There is a good Yemeni Restaurant around there, I wanted to try it...haven't had a chance.
Hope this helps. :)
Halal food: The cheapest is Haandi on 27th and Lex
Hope this helps!
Where did all the Rumi lovers go? Jummah anyone? ;)
