Re: Average cost of meals in NYC. 30 January 2012, 21:22. I tend to get takeout, but the dinner specials in my neighborhood hole in the wall Chinese are $4.75 - $5.75.... the secret is to get out of the center of midtown. If you have to be in midtown, head over to 2nd Avenue, or 9th or 10th Avenue.
Killed in front of his family. On February 21, 1965, Malcolm X took to the stage of the Audubon Ballroom, a site often used for civic meetings. His wife, Betty Shabazz, and four children were in the crowd. Malcolm X was 39 when he was gunned down in 1965.
May 19 is Malcolm X Day. Not everyone knows about this holiday, nor do they understand where and why it is celebrated. While not a federal holiday like Martin Luther King Jr. Day, many people take May 19, to recognize, honor, and remember the works of civil rights leader and activist Malcolm X. Malcolm X Day is held on May 19, because that was the date Malcolm X was born. Malcolm X Day is a local holiday that is most notably celebrated in the city of Berkeley, California, where it is considered an official holiday.
