Sorry Andrew, if you want to hit the ice your going to have to drive a bit. I live in the NYC area as well and there hasn't been any fishable ice this far south at all. I've made a few trips up north this year to get out on the ice, expect to drive at a minimum two hours with the weather being the way it has. I just talked to a field office in orange county yesterday and none of the lakes i asked about had fishable ice. If you want more detail feel free to PM me.
