NEW YORK − MD Ahnaf Hossain is, like countless other 23-year-old recent college graduates, looking for a job. Preferably in finance, the Queens resident told USA TODAY in a recent FaceTime call from a park in lower Manhattan, before the New York Knicks Thursday, June 17, championship parade. He donned a Knicks cap, glasses slightly lowered, and a Portugal jersey, for the World Cup.
What sets Hossain’s resume apart is he went viral across social media for the now immortal four-line poem that began, “My mayor’s Muslim / My bagel’s Jewish.” He was, of course, referring to Zohran Mamdani, New York’s first Muslim mayor, plus the imprint Jewish New Yorkers have left on the city’s gorgeous mosaic. “My Christian Dior / Knicks in four!” he ended the poem, screaming into cameras.
