Bhae jan.. We have 100's of mosques in
NYC.. I can drive 2 minutes and hit multiple mosques.. And as far as haram halal.. A single bit of stuff is available. Authentic halal. We can get even a mario biscuit and national achar from Pakistan.. And yes if you are hungry and need quick thing to eat.. Yes Maggie two minutes noodle from Pakistan as well..
Yes laws are very strict as far as halal authentication is concerned. Reason if you don't follow u go to jail.. I have heard people selling murday janwar ka ghost in Pakistan and even khotay ka ghost.. They are not afraid of anyone and they sell it and then offer bajumaat namaz.. Lol. 
No offense just kidding..
