NYC's "beltway" is their subway system and commuter trains.
Not sure about NJ transit, Metro North and LIRR, but the subway only have one non-shuttle line that doesn't enter Manhattan, and runs pretty close to the East River, which doesn't count as even part of a beltway imo.

Mainly jokingly meant that transit options are so many, that no need for beltway of Interstate.

Riding around in other people's filth is not a beltway
There are those who travel, and those who travel well

NYC's trains are mostly radial, with most lines heading to/from Manhattan. Pretty much the opposite of a beltway.
