Overview

Visiting a small section of Langston Boulevard in Arlington VA transports one to Dhaka, Bangladesh. The concentration of shops and restaurants owned and operated by Bangladeshi immigrants offer a window into the community at large. While attending various local mosques, the presence of their spiritual community is most fully realized at the Bangladeshi Islamic Center in Arlington. Besides a small Catholic Bengali church in Silver Spring, MD there are no known predominantly Bengali churches.
