Per https://covidtracking.com/data#state-ny there have been 57103 hospitalizations in the state (not city, so not quite the same population), of which 15021 are still hospitalized. So that's 42082 cases that have left the hospital, of which 15740 died, or 37%.

Obviously there's some apples/oranges here, both due to the population being different from the city and the fact that some of those deaths were outside of hospitals. But it's close.

It's been covered in the past that NYC's total fatality rate has been good but its ICU survival rate has been anomalously bad.

Perhaps a lot of those deaths were outside hospitals (nursing homes, etc.)? Here's a report for all hospitalizations in NYC from March 1 to April 4: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2765184

21% of patients who discharged or died died.
