Hi,
I realize that this post is old, but maybe you will still look at it or maybe it could help someone else.
I'm a little lazy, so I will only tell you to click on this link. I've created a resource for new actors with questions just like this one.
At this link, you can find the answer to that question about acting classes in New York. Instead of telling you about a whole lot of teachers and classes, I tell you about one that I study with who has gotten me fantastic results using the Meisner technique.
Here's the link:

There's even an audio message to listen to.
Hope this helps.
