If you are incorporating or forming an LLC, go to http://www.dos.state.ny.us/corp/corpwww.html , the New York Department of State website and click Search the Corporation/Business Entity Database from the menu on the left. Type in the name you want. Make sure to change the choice underneath from Active Only to All and search. Good luck :)

Which probably means that you'll a general telephone directory search at anywho.com (AT&T online phone directory) or www.switchboard.com (another telephone directory.
Good luck!
