Hey CJ,
Sorry to say I can't help you with the NYC thing, never been there. I would bet that someone else here could help you out though. I noticed some New Yorkers here.
Interesting though on of our medics that moved here from NYC is leaving to Israel on the 27th to volunteer as a medic there for 9 months. I can't imagine what it must be like as a medic there. It will be neat to hear from him, he has a blog and photo gallery up that he is going to update regularly while he is there. They even did a story on him on the local news. Very nice guy.
If you get bored and want to see what is up over there once he is there here is his site address.

Good Luck with the registry CJ!
