I have a Garmin 95XL. The Antenna would not come off the unit.
I opened the unit and found a broken part of the plastic next to the
antenna. That part holds the inner side of the connector so that it
will not turn.

That's a standard BNC connector. It sounds like you are talking about the
one in the 95XL, right? [As opposed to the one on the antenna.]

Anyone knows of a repair shop in the NYC area that can help me?

I'm not 100% sure what part is broken. The outer part (with the ears)
should be well secured and soldered. The inner part, while critical,
doesn't hold the two together. You can get replacement connectors from
Digikey or most any electronics parts supply store (Fry's), although I am
not sure you need one. Then it sounds like a friend with a soldering iron
if you need to replace the connector. Otherwise just use the appropriate
(as in not too much) epoxy to re-secure the connector.
