Two questions on VFR flight following into an uncontrolled field

It's almost a sure thing that the top 500 feet of Stewart's airspace has
been released to the overlying approach control by Letter of Agreement, so
SWF controllers wouldn't even be interested in you unless you transitioned
lower than that. In any event "Am I cleared through Stewart's airspace?"
would clear up any uncertainty.

feet MSL.
