It sounds like it might help you out a bit to see some good representation of Muslims in the US. Might I suggest Ms. Marvel? It's only 6 episodes long; if you skip the credits and recaps, I think you can probably binge it in about 5 hours. But it includes lots of scenes set in a mosque, or at a community festival sponsored by said mosque, and lots of scenes that deal with the main character's family's heritage and background (specifically in Pakistan, and in the historical events of Pakistan's founding). So that might give you an example of at least one way in which more-recent immigrant families keep alive their knowledge of and connection to their countries-of-origin.

I think it packs a lot of what you want/need into a fairly short time.

Bonus: It's not set in NYC, but it is in Jersey City, just across the river, so there's a similar "feel" in that sense.
