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

As I read that, he can run the corridor if he wants to. That's outside the class B
airspace.

That's how I read it too. Anyone do this? Anyone have a
terminal chart and can verify that I'd have to go to 500' or
lower, or is there a sliver of 70/11 or higher east of the
Lady that I can't see?

Most of NY harbor is under an 1,100' floor. This extends from the Jersey shore just
to the west of the Lady nearly to Brooklyn. There's a sliver of 1,500' floor along
the Brooklyn shore that extends to the Holland tunnel.

If a man gets into a fight 3,000 miles away from home, he *had* to have
been looking for it.

On the NY Terminal chart I have, there is a sliver of 70/+11 over the bay. The statue of liberty appears to be within that sliver (though at the edge of a 70/+05 piece, so I wouldn't circle it). The bottom of the Hudson (North of the Lady) is 70/15
left over from Brooklyn, the middle of the Hudson is 70/+11, and a bit North of the Washington Bridge you get 70/15 again until halfway to the TZ bridge, where it's 70/30. Going South, near the VZ Bridge it's 70/15, so if you stay below 1000 you'll
be outside the class B.

It's a nice trip. I do highly reccomend radio contact with other aircraft, so grab a handheld, listen, and self-announce.
