Two questions on VFR flight following into an uncontrolled field

Since you are talking to ATC, unless told to maintain clearance or
altitude, there is no reason you can't fly through class D or C
airspace or even B if told cleared through the Bravo.


Really AIM 3.2.5 says that i need to have two-way radio contact with the
"ATC facility providing ATC services", which in this case i think means i
need to be talking to Stewart Tower, not NY Approach (?).


And this uncontrolled field he's asking about has a tower?

It should be at least 5 out, Airport in sight, request frequency
change. They'll approve the change and terminate FF at that point
usually with any traffic advisories if they see any. 5 out gives you
at least a bit of time to monitor CTAF or UNICOM and anounce your
intentions.
