A friend of mine, who wishes to remain anonymous, but may be awesome, went on a trip and came back with a list of gyms good for doing StrongLifts type programming. I'm presenting it here as a block, to be fixed up later.

Couples Swept Away, Jamaica

Sheraton Hotel Times Square
The Sheraton at 811 7th Ave at 52nd Street in New York City has a gym that outsiders can join. If you're a cardio bunny or like the machines, you're good, otherwise nope. There is a smith machine, and a squat rack with bumper plates you're not allowed to use without a trainer. Pass.

Mid-City Gym, 42nd Street
Mid-City Gym's other and now only branch, on 42th Street b/t 8th and 9th Avenue in New York City, is my new home gym. There's a truly odd safety squat rack with hard to adjust straps, and a crossfitty oly lifting area with two new safety rails for squatting. Two benches and an incline, no decline, dumbbells up to 120. Lots of machines, cables, etc. Nothing to write home about. Chalk is prohibited, but you can sneak it in. There is a decent culture of powerlifters and a few strongman/oly types.
Update! There's now a normal safety squat rack, if you attach the safety squat arms to the Rogue rig. Plus you can bench there. Pretty good.
