Land at Teterboro. Tell Teterboro tower that you want to do a bit of
sightseeing down the Hudson. They'll hand you off to LGA or Newark tower.
Enjoy. Call the FBOs at Teterboro. Get the numbers from AOPA. (You *are*
a member, right?) Often, either Signature or Millionair will give you a
free night's parking if you fill up. Ask them to drive you to the bus stop,
or walk if the weather's nice. It's a 15 minute hike. The bus will take
you directly to the Port Authority at 42nd and 4th. Cost is about 7 bucks.
Here's the schedule: http://www.njtransit.com/pdf/bus/T0161.pdf

Couple things:

Don't try flying IFR alone unless you're *really* quick at changing
frequencies. It's a handful.

Check for TFRs.

Use GPS. If it's busy, you won't have time to decipher the VTA.

I've done all this many times. On a clear, busy night, the number of planes
around you makes the sky look like a scene from "Close Encounters".
