I'd look at a DB8e, remove the reflector and point it at the 45 degree true direction or so.

Um, not this time. Go back and notice that his primary goal is NYC, not CT and eastern Long Island. Besides, that arrangement would have too narrow of a beamwidth anyway.
Frankly, the most effective solution would be to go with the large high-V/UHF combo or paired UHF antenna with a separate high-VHF antenna with a suitable preamp and a rotor. If he went with the separates, only the UHF antenna would need to be on the rotor and, chances are, a good number of the nearby UHF stations are going to come in off the back anyway when aimed at NYC.
