Toks Desalu asks;

... I was wondering if that path is open to VFR?
New policy? Do I have to inform anyone in advance? Any suggestion?

You've gotten response on this - I'd add only one thing, which is that
if the Yankees are playing a baseball game, the TFR over Yankee stadium
extends over the Hudson - be sure to check if it's in effect before
taking the tour.

I would need a tie down for a couple days near NYC. My friend lives in
Manhattan. Which airport do you recommend(non-controlled airport
preferred)?
Cost?

Teterboro's OK - just contact them far enough out to get a squawk code
and the frequencies, and there are busses into the city from there.
It's controlled and has a $15 landing fee, along with whatever tiedown
fee the FBO you choose will hit you with.

Caldwell (CDW) is another controlled field further west, just off of
Route 80. Tiedown at Caldwell Air Services there is $8/night (I leave my
COZY there when I visit my parents in NJ). There's no direct service
into the city, but you can take a cab (or walk) to the nearby mall and
take a bus from their into the city.

North of CDW is Lincoln Park, which is a nice little uncontrolled field,
but I have no clue how to get to NYC from there.
