Narrative:

Departed for mjx (robert miller air park, toms river, nj) approximately XA30 apr/mon/01. Proceeded wbound until reaching 6500 ft MSL per new york approach instructions (126.4), then cleared into class B airspace at 6500 ft MSL on course 214 degrees direct to mjx. Proceeded on course 214 degrees down hudson river with 2 handoffs to new york approach controllers. Approximately 16 NM, 020 degree radial, col (national recreational area) was advised that 'radar service was terminated, squawk 1200.' descent from 6500 ft MSL was immediately initiated and course changed to approximately 130 degrees to avoid that sector of the class B airspace west of sandy hook, nj. This action took me through the jfk sector during the descent. The preferable alternative would be to query the controller for the best exit route, and/or descend below 3000 ft MSL on course to remain under the western sector of the class B airspace.
