Mayor Mamdani breaks Ramadan fast at Astoria mosque, celebrates ‘return home’

Mayor Zohran Mamdani visited an Astoria mosque Tuesday night to break his Ramadan fast with dozens of Bosnian New Yorkers in what the mayor described as a homecoming to the assembly district he once represented.

Mamdani, who is the city’s first Muslim mayor, attended the Masjid Islamic Unity & Cultural Center at 31-33 12th St. on March 17 for iftar, the fast-breaking meal enjoyed after sundown throughout the month of Ramadan.
