On Eid-al-Fitr morning in Prospect Park on Friday, worshippers packed the parade ground as Mayor Zohran Mamdani reflected on the month of Ramadan that had just ended.
“I stand here before you as our city’s first-ever Muslim mayor,” he said. “When I reflect on the past 30 days of suhoors and iftars, when I think of fasting alongside the people of our incredible city, I am filled, frankly, with a deep gratitude and a renewed love for this place that we call home.”
