Planes flying on VFR DON'T file flight plans, only IFR requires a flight plan. That's small plane pilots, even they are instrument rated, often fly VFR. I would not be surprised if there are some restrictions regarding Manhattan, but you do not appear to be a pilot, nor familiar with flight procedures, air traffic control or reasonable expectations in this arena.
Hoya, in terms of air security, it appears you're out of your league, because your expectations are NOT reasonable.
