some rapid fire Laguardia radio work in the background

Good points except the above, IMO. Why monitor LaGuardia when you are not
required to do so? Monitoring and self-announcing on the discreet
frequency for that VFR corridor should be all the radio needed.

That makes sense. What I was thinking of was, "what do you do to
request the a Class B clearance so you don't have to do the U-turn". Is
there a freq for self announcing and requesting clearances?

I'm wondering if the only thing that may keep the VFR corridor in place
is a desire on the part of ATC to keep all the sightseeing requests at bay.
