I use to be 235lb, so i know where you coming from. Use stock saddle for few month of regular riding (at least 3 times a week) to understand it. You may like it. Buy bike shorts with padding - it will help if you going for more that 3 miles .
As other people already said - Manhattan is mostly flat, use Hudson greenway from 184 (?)street or from 158 street.
