Or the traffic pattern definition does not allow for wind direction. Even

high time pilot would be prone to "fly the pattern" rather than deviate
from a published route.

Being based on the west coast, I'm not familiar with the published
procedure to which you refer. I searched the AOPA web site, and did a
Google search, but was unable to locate it. Are you able to provide a
URL to the graphic depiction or written description of the route?

There are published helicopter routes, but nothing for fixed-wing aircraft.
The helicopter routes do have traffic keeping to the right on both the
Hudson River and East River, and it is conventional for all aircraft to keep
to the right on the Hudson (I don't know for sure about the East River).
