New York City questions

I'm doing some planning for my first run up the Hudson River this summer, and I have a few questions.
  1. When you pass through New York City, do you need to get permission from any kind of traffic control center, or do you just monitor 16 and stay out of the way of commercial traffic?
  2. I normally poke along at 7 knots, but I hear the Hudson has a fair amount of current. I'm not planning on doing any tourist stuff on my northbound leg, so what would be a reasonable one day run up the Hudson from Sandy Hook in the month of June?
  3. On my southbound run in July, I would like to spend a day or two being a tourist in New York City. What would be a good base of operation that would not bust the bank?
Thanks very much.
