One of the most helpful features of the New York City Halal Travel Guide is that you don’t need to worry about the prayer facilities and enjoy your visit to each attraction, shop, and restaurant! The Muslim community has existed and incorporated into NYC’s culture for 400 years and has been growing ever since. Alongside the growth, NYC has seen over 275 mosques throughout the five boroughs to cater to your needs for prayer. Therefore, there’s no need to worry as there are plenty of prayer facilities in the city (psst, definitely easier to find if you use the guides). By using the guide you’ll find which mosques are available in the area and which are the closest (with estimated travel time), giving you some ease of mind.
