It is described as the first mosque built in New York City, and it remains one of the largest in the city. The postmodern building is set at an angle of about 29 degrees to the surrounding streets.

De Wikipedia

The Islamic Cultural Center of New York is a postmodern mosque and an Islamic cultural center in East Harlem, Manhattan, New York City, United States. It is located at 1711 Third Avenue, between East 96th and 97th Streets. The Islamic Cultural Center was the first purpose-built mosque in New York and continues to be one of the city's largest. The mosque's older dwelling in a townhouse at 1 Riverside Drive is still in continual prayer use as a satellite location.

The Islamic Cultural Center of New York is a standing building that is 61 meters wide and 73 meters long. The mosque is located at the northeast corner of East 96th Street and 3rd Avenue, on the boundary of Manhattan's East Harlem and Upper East Side neighborhoods. When looking at it, the mosque is rotated 29 degrees towards the streets. The architects did this to portray the Turkish mosque and complete two goals. Those two goals were to stand out from its surroundings, and the mihrab can face Mecca, where it is the direction to pray towards the Kaaba.
