NR I said my jumah prayers last week when I was in New York. Nothing special about the mosque but needs a bit of extra cleaning. Location was very good - 15 minutes walk from 53 Street 7th Avenue. Even on subway it is convenient. Entrance is through a green coloured door between the shops so don't expect to see a minaret. Considerably large area for prayers. A request to visitors: Please donate generously so that they can spend more on a masjid so centrally located.
★★★ This mosque is utilitarian. I looks as if it has been converted from apartments and is still basically laid out that way with space divided among different floors. If you work in mid-Manhattan it's a good, easy bet. You can be in and out and back to work quickly. Women's juma space is like in what would be a living room on in an upper floor apartment if the building were still apartments. Looks like a living room. Bathroom (clean) is like a powder room in an apartment. Nothing special, but comfortable. Other sisters nice and civil, but no real community feeling, since a lot of the sisters attending simply work or shop in the area.
