It is not correct that the maximum allowed VFR is 1100 ft.

I've flown over the East River VFR before at 2000 (or perhaps a little
higher). It just involves talking to one of the nice controllers at LGA.

I'm sure you - and any other pilot - know this; you were just being a

I'd hate for us to be responsible for more misinformation. That would
make us no better than many politicians.
