The Halal Travel Guide was created by NYC & Company in partnership with the world-leading, halal-friendly travel authority, Halal Trip/Crescent Rating. The PDF Guidebook highlights Muslim-friendly New York City offerings by borough.

The Muslim community has more than 275 mosques spread across all five boroughs—more than any other metro area in the US. The borough of Brooklyn is home to one of the world’s most diverse Muslim communities, representing descendants from every continent, and is also the home of one of the nation’s oldest surviving mosques, located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The guide includes prayer places and the distance and time from the attractions, restaurants, and hotels.

The Halal Travel Guide includes dining recommendations for every cuisine type, such as Eatzy Thai in Queens, Junoon in Manhattan, Al Aqsa in the Bronx, Al Humza Restaurant in Staten Island, and Bagel Point in Brooklyn, among others. Muslim-friendly hotels include Conrad New York Midtown, Lotte New York Palace, The Plaza Hotel and more.
