As a fellow NYer to the OP, I'd NEVER try to use FSD within the city. There is nothing "normal" about driving here, ever. And I'm not talking about the stereotypes either, just regular driving patterns. Maybe out in the far reaches of Queens or Staten Island it would be OK, maybe, but in Brooklyn, Manhattan or The Bronx, fahgedabouddit. Just here in Brooklyn, I have to be able to navigate Moscow, Kiev, Tashkent, Port-au-Prince, Lahore, Tel Aviv, Rome, San Juan, and Shanghai drivers and streets!
