Default No NYC Fleet Week TFR?

So I'm sitting in my office with a great view of downtown Manhattan
watching the Blue Angels make what seems to be the last of five fly-bys
up and down the East and Hudson Rivers (complete with a C-130 photo
plane--door open of course and Fat Albert in trail). All this is for
Fleet Week activities. I curiously go to the FAA TFR website to read
what the TFR says and there's not a TFR to be found in the area. I
figured there would be at least one for the Hudson River corridor VFR
route since they seem to be at the ~1,000 ft MSL level which is the VFR
altitude.

Since there is no flight plan required to fly the corridor, I shudder
to think about what events may transpire if I were to take the "scenic
route" today. Anyone in the area try to fly the Hudson Corridor today
or yesterday (May 24th)? Ahh, there's pass # 6 right over the Statue
of Liberty.

On a side note, saw the V-22 Osprey do a fly by while I was watching
practically underneath its flightpath. That thing is quieter than a
Cessna 150!
