Event Details

To celebrate the auspicious month of Ramadan, NYBAP would like to invite you to an evening of Bangladeshi-style Iftaar at BANGLA GARDEN.  We'll be in the private room on the lower level of the restaurant, so head on downstairs when you get there.

In addition to the iftaar, as an extension of the NYBAP Leadership Series, we'll have a very special guest on hand to tell us about his life and non-traditional career --  Bangladeshi-American comedian Aladdin Ullah, the "Funniest South Asian in the Nation".

Due to capacity, we ask that you RSVP by Thursday, 9/20.
