I wouldn't kayak around Manhatan. The tides in both the Hudson and East Rivers are extremely strong and unpredictable. It's hard enough to pilot a regular boat. A kayak would be almost a nightmare.

If you don't mind the noise of commercial aircraft overhead , the area of Jamaica Bay/Gateway National Recreation Area is not a bad place to be exploring
If you time it right , you can float in and out with the tide.
Stay out in the shallows out of the channels and you're good to go
