In some parts of the corridor (near EWR) the ceiling is 500', but higher where this happened.
The point about rotary-wing umm... variable flightpaths is well made. I've had a couple pop up waaay too close for comfort. I'd place the responsibility for separation on the NYC operators, employ someone on the ground to monitor traffic instead of just blasting off into the sky.
On another note, the Idiot Schumer is at it again:
