With respect.. The reason this will help is that when flying up that part
of the river while talking to atc they will be able to clear you into the
class b and LGA's airspace with out getting stuck in the canyon and not
being in a position to make the narrow turn to try and stay out of the class
b.

If that's the reason, then they should make a class b clearance a requirement
for fixed-wing aircraft operating in that corridor.

You can't get a class B clearance outside the class B. Changing the
class B limits actually has a bit more of a sham procedure the FAA
must go through. Issuing random TFR restictions like this can be
done on a mere whim.

The TFR also permits the rotary exception.

Discrimination against the fixer-wingers, if you ask me. All because we
can't hover w/o a helping headwind.
