What's with all the cabs parked on Avenue A?

That's what a reader asked yesterday after seeing cabs lined up on Avenue A the past few days... EVG regular Creature noted this too with the following three photos... [From Thursday via Bobby Williams]

I didn't see all this myself... and really have no idea. Anyone know?

I live on upper Avenue A, and there's frequently a bunch cabs parked up here. The drivers are making a stop to pray at the mosque on 11th and 1st Ave: http://thevillager.com/villager_211/madinamosqueismuslim.html

Actually a regular daily occurrence. They go to prayers at the mosque on First Avenue and Eleventh St.

Oh, of course... thanks... and a lot of the parking spaces are gone on East 11th and East 12th Streets with the construction at the East Side school...

December 1, 2012 at 11:54 AM 
Yeah, this happens daily. The guys are going to prayers.

December 1, 2012 at 12:21 PM 
Oh, did anyone mention this is a daily occurrence and that they are going to pray at 11th & 1st?
Are we the first one up? (Movie ref)
 
Most taxi drivers go to the noon prayer; Friday seems to be the busiest day.
