I've just spent a wonderful weekend in Andover NJ (50 miles West of NYC) at
Aeroflex (
Andover Flight Academy).
Spent some time in their Stearman & J3.
Thoroughly recommend the Stearman, and at £125 ph Dual it's cheapest Stearman training I could find, compared to £500 ph in the UK.
Not sure about the transport links as it's a bit out in the sticks, well worth the effort though!
