According to this undated nuclear energy source [1] New York State gets 36% of its electricity from natural gas, 31% from nuclear, and about 20% from hydro. Meanwhile, recent data (from September 2016) from the US Energy Information Administration [2] reports 46% natural gas, 31.7 nuclear, and 20.4% "renewables" which includes hydro, solar, and wind.
Stats for NYC itself are much more difficult to find.
