Default looking for non-vector DP near New York

I'm learning the CNX-80 my club just installed. One of today's tasks
was to load and fly a DP to make sure I knew how that worked.

Unfortunately, at my home airport (White Plains), when you go to load
the Westchester One, you discover there are no DP's available in the
database. OK, we headed over to POU to try the Dutchess Four. Nope,
that's not available in the database either.

Studying the manual later, I discovered (and I guess this makes sense)
that the database does not contain vector DP's, which both of the above
are. So I started browsing nearby airports, and discovered that every
DP I looked at in the area is "expect vectors to departure fix". The
only exception I found was the Coastal One out of Hartford, which is
full of scary phrases like "flight level"; the CNX-80 doesn't mind, but
the poor Bonanza it's attached to would have trouble keeping up.

So, does anybody know any example of a non-vector DP in the New York
area which we could use for CNX-80 training?
