Narrative:
Flying from mvy to N99 along long island sound in uncontrolled airspace but with VFR flight following. New york approach asked to descend so as to avoid class B airspace, but I expected vectors to hudson river flyway. Entered lga class B airspace, then vectored to hudson river flyway. Problem caused as I expected vectors but did not receive from flight following. Corrected by getting clearance and transiting area. I had originally intended to overfly class B airspace but afternoon WX was a problem. Ceilings did not lift and DME tuned to jfk instead of lga. Some confusion about destination by ATC, westchester, ny, or PA.
