Harbor seals are by far the most common species in NYC's waters. Less common are the gray seals and harp seals that typically travel from deeper in the Arctic waters. It's winter, so there is plenty of remote or secluded beaches, sandbars, and islands for seals to haul-out to rest and relax. There is lots of open water for seals to swim around, and easy access to the Atlantic Ocean for marine mammals to migrate or pass through.
