Salat/Namaz times in New York City


Second in the short series of ramadan articles, is this picture of salat/prayer times. The picture was taken in the middle of Ramadan at the 29th street mosque (5th Avenue and Broadway), also known as Musjid ur Rahman.

Times vary greatly from mosque to mosque, with some opting for a start to Isha/Esha much later than others.

In fact, I met a taxi driver who said that taxi drivers had arranged a special facility for Isha/Esha and taraweeh prayers somewhere in Queens (Northern Boulevard?) which started at 1am, after the taxi drivers shift for the nite was over. What a great idea.
