If you are within 5 miles of an airport (but not next to one), you can call to notify them of your intentions to fly, for how long and where. Check the FAA website for more info.

Lots of people fly in NYC with few interference issues if you fly in open areas like an approved park.

You may drag & drop images into the type field and it will upload. Moves should be hosted on sites like Youtube or Vimeo.

Check the DJI NFZ map as well.

FYI according to the latest FAA rules, for consumer use you can just make a "mutually-agreed upon operating procedure" with airports within 5 miles so you don't have to call every time you fly. I did this with an airport near my home.

Fly for Fun under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft

model aircraft operators flying from a permanent location within 5 miles of an airport should establish a mutually-agreed upon operating procedure with the airport operator and the airport air traffic control tower [when an air traffic facility is located at the airport]

It's where you and the airport/helipad operator come up with a plan to notify them you are up there. Some want to you call anytime you go up, some are fine with initial notification. You work out the details with them and you're good to go.

You may have to save the pictures to your phone (not cached).
When you post, click the “Upload a file” tab and attach the picture.

For the DJI point of view, you can check in advance here: DJI - Fly Safe: No Fly Zones, you can select the model and location.

"Mutually agreed" means both parties agree to whatever "operating procedure" you come up with. As was stated earlier, they may want you to call every time, or they may just tell you you're free to do whatever and don't need to bother calling.
