This [0] is my kids' elementary school and the ballfields they play in, during Superstorm Sandy, and I assure you that it was very much underwater. Interestingly, the water came north up West Street, not east from the Hudson, but it's hard to see how that matters.
The expected sea level rise this century does not (most likely) put NYC underwater at high tide, but it does whenever there is a storm surge associated with high tide [1]. Sandy alone cost NYC at least $19 B [2].
