ver the last few decades, New York has become home to one of the hemisphere's most significant Georgian communities, with a growing number of restaurants and other institutions. 4,032 Georgian-born New Yorkers are listed as speaking "Other Not Elsewhere Classified" languages in the 2015-2019 American Community Survey data, which likely refers to Georgian. Assuming that most Georgian-born New Yorkers speak the language — though some may be Russian-dominant — then the number is over 6,000, largely concentrated in Brooklyn (home to the Pesvebi Georgian Cultural Center), with some in New Jersey (home to St Grigol Of Khandzta Georgian Orthodox Church) as well. Some Georgian New Yorkers are native speakers of Mingrelian, Svan, and possibly other varieties. A smaller community of Georgian Jews lives in eastern Queens and worships at the Congregation of Georgian Jews synagogue.
