A pleasant mosque that offers jumah and is open all day for salaat. During Ramadan, iftaar and tarawih are offered all 30 days. Women pray on the top floor for jumah and behind a green curtain during Ramadan on the 2nd floor.

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.

★★★★  Good location, mosque is located up the stairs from a small entrance on 55th street, can be hard to find. It was relatively clean.

★★★  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.
