I fly into a similar situation going into Brookhaven,NY. I talk to NY
approach and fly over Islip and they will will tell me to descend while over
the C space so as to set up for the landing. I believe they are working
with the tower people at Islip to work this all out, it happens behind the
scenes to me.

Since you are talking to ATC, unless told to maintain clearance or
altitude, there is no reason you can't fly through class D or C
airspace or even B if told cleared through the Bravo.


Really AIM 3.2.5 says that i need to have two-way radio contact with the
"ATC facility providing ATC services", which in this case i think means i
need to be talking to Stewart Tower, not NY Approach (?).
