1.) There are squid probably just offshore of NYC, but I don't know if they are specifically targeted by anglers or not. Maybe calling a few charter fishing captains down there would give a better answer. Shore-based "recreational" fisheries are centered between eastern Long Island, Rhode Island, and through Cape Cod. Rumor is Cape Cod is good this year while RI has been hit or miss with finicky squid.
2.) There are some charters in Pt. Judith, RI that specifically target squid: Seven B's and Frances Fleet. You can find their info on google.
This info is for the 'recreational' sector (catch and keep just for yourself). If you are looking for commercial info from guys who measure squid by the ton, head to the bar in Pt. Judith and buy a round for the tired looking guys who smell a little funny and you'll learn more about squid than you care to.
