Giving Ramadan a Drumroll on Brooklyn Streets at 4 A.M.

Via NYTimes:

A few hours before dawn, when most New Yorkers are fast asleep, a middle-aged man rolls out of bed in Brooklyn, dons a billowy red outfit and matching turban, climbs into his Lincoln Town Car, drives 15 minutes, pulls out a big drum and — there on the sidewalk of a residential neighborhood — starts to play. He now restricts himself to a short stretch of Coney Island Avenue where many Pakistanis live.
