The Nyack Boat Club moorings are an easy 40 NM run up the Hudson from Sandy Hook, just past the Tappan Zee bridge. Call channel 9 for a mooring which is $20 as I recall and includes launch service to the club. Hang out for a drink at the club in the evening.

No restrictions in passing NYC. Just watch out for all of the ferry traffic.

As others have indicated, 79th St Boat Basin moorings in NYC are a reasonable cost place to stay with good subway access. It will be rolly during the day and you will need a good dinghy to get to the dinghy landing bucking the 3 knot current. Other places are Liberty Landing and Newport Yacht Club marinas on the Jersey side but they ain't cheap- $4.50/ft. Take the ferry to NYC.

Further up the river about 60 NM up from the Nyack Boat Club is a neat anchorage in Esopus Creek at Saugerties. Room for 2-3 boats in a quiet, nice spot in the creek.
