My Trip to The Arabic Street

Well I have told some people before that I live close by this very long street that is filled with Arabs (Egyptians mainly), Arabic stores, Arabic everything lol. So I hadn't went there in a looooong time (Ever since I wanted to buy a soccer shirt in the summer and the woman said it's for $70 )...Anyways, Dal knows the street that I'm talking about

So I decided I would take a walk there today and see how it is.

Once I reached there I typically smelled the smell of the sheesha (water pipe) that some Egyptians smoke int eh many cafes.

So I walked around and took some pictures :

On the other side of the streets was this store, "Eastern Nights"...it's an Egyptian store. My parents used to buy the Ramadan supplies/food from it

If you are Egyptian, then you probably heard of the Tamsiliya "Layalee El Helmiya"...this dude named his cafe after it

This store has been here for ages! I don't exactly know what it is (I guess a cafe) but it has been in that place and looked the same since I was in 3rd grade!!!!!!!

Last but not least: The Grand Mosque of the Arabic Street! I used to learn there when I was in 3rd Grade

But then I moved on to this mosque that's even closer to my house.

wait isnt this Steinway? or something like that?

but very cool!

Yes it is fifi

HA! i knew it! i lived there till i was 2 lol then i went to Richmond hill i knew that cafe looked so familiar! i want one of those soccer shirts soo badly!

omg wow that street changed sooooooooo much awwn i wanna go visit it now
the only thing thats the same from there is the mosque
so many child memories in that mosque

When did you leave Dal? Because when I was in 3rd grade-8 years ago-it looked different. I love how it looks now though

i left when i was in third grade
omg do they still have that Carvel store and that halloween store that store was sooo scary

No they don't have it

Dal are you sure I never saw you in real life? I used to go to that mosque until 3rd grade too!!

well it looks completely different to me because the last time i was there i was like 7 lol

loool our moms were prob best frends or something
i do remember this one kid named ahmed who used to hit everyone was that u

No I was never a fighter ...I only play fought with the other kids like any young boys lol

Do you have any sisters Dal? And a brother?

Dal are you kidding me theres like 1000000000 Ahmeds in NY and our Ahmed hiting on someone pshhh thats not possible

lol
no i had an older sister and a younger one she was baby at the time

Hmm...my mom knew pretty much all the other moms at that mosque, there is a huge chance that they actually knew each other

well congrats your mum's knew each other!

We don't know that for sure, but there is a large possibility

omg that mosque was crzy though the ladies in there
i remember sometimes they used to fight im like omg this is a masjed wth

Lol, yeah since I was young at the time I was allowed to go downstairs in the woman place. It was filled with running children and it was a complete crazy mess!
