ABOUT US
Bengalis of New York is a community-driven platform dedicated to celebrating Bengali culture in New York and beyond. What began as a way to highlight the experiences of Bengalis in the city has grown into a vibrant community that brings people together through
events, storytelling, and cultural initiatives
A community based multimedia nonprofit that engages with the Bengali diaspora community on multiple levels. We want to share our toolkit so that the community is able to do it themselves with their subgroups, niches
and local communities.
