I'm hoping, though, to find places where I can be IFR *and* not have to
land.

Most times when I want to practice some approaches, I will file IFR "round-
robin," with my home airport as the departing and arriving airport, and a
VOR near the intended class C or D airport as the route. I also include
"multiple approach practice at Kxxx" in the comments.

When I am handed off to the approach facility that coordinates approaches
into that airport, I request multiple approaches. Often the tower at class
D airports where I go will clear me for the option, allowing me to touch
down if I want to practice going off instruments to land.

Again, Binghamton (KBGM) and Elmira (KELM) are two class D airport a little
to your north that have their own approach facilities (TRSA) and are very
accommodating.
