Over 1,000 Muslims broke their first Ramadan fast this year in New York City on Saturday, on the pavements of the bustling thoroughfare of Times Square.

Some 1,500 meals were distributed for the first Iftar of the month to Muslims who had travelled from as far as Montreal to attend the event.

Excerpts from the Quran were recited and organisers made speeches about the meaning of observances during the holy Islamic month.
