Can I fly the NY VFR corridor w/o a XPNDR?

Simple question. Can I fly the NY VFR corridor in a
transponderless aircraft that meets the exception
requirements of 91.215 (no electrical system)? It looks
like the answer is yes, provided I stay low enough (below
500' as I turn the Lady). Any new TFR or other restrictions
on this? Any good intros on doing it (freq's. suggested
reporting points, etc.) Thanks.

Do not get below 500' in that area -- with the amount of boat traffic in the harbor,
you will find it impossible to maintain the required clearance. In addition, the 500'
ASL level will contain quite a few helicopters, so I would not venture below 600' in
any aircraft that has less than excellent visibility. Why do you think you need to
get that low?
