Syrian Americans in New York City

Historically, Syrians in New York City were predominantly Christian.

In the modern era, the city is home to the world's largest Syrian-Jewish community outside of Israel.

75,000 Syrian Jews live in New York City, mostly in Brooklyn.

While Syrians/Syro-Lebanese immigrants settled across the United States, New York City became the central hub of the Syrian diaspora in America.

The heart of New York City's "Syrian Colony" was Little Syria in downtown Manhattan.
