If you're in NYC, there are several hiking clubs which are very friendly to beginners which you could join.

Big state, but I assume NYC?

Here are two recommendations for places within proximity to you:

The Palisades Interstate Park is just across the GW Bridge in New Jersey. It has hiking trails all throughout the park but I would recommend the northern section and the "giant steps" trail leading to the "peanut cascade".

New York's Hudson Highlands is just across the Hudson River from Bear Mountain. There's a nice scramble trail at Breakneck Ridge.

Thanks.

I roped a buddy into doing the Old Croton Trail this spring as well.
