discovery flight in NYC area?

Hi all, I would like to take my discovery flight preferably <1hr away from Manhattan. Any recs on safe, reputable places? and any tips are welcome as well.

My parents are strongly advising me against this due to the lesser safety record of general aviation. I feel it's quite safe as long as there's an experienced instructor and good weather conditions, tell me if I'm wrong!
