Call the DMV and they will give you a ACCURATE answer...here you will get loads of answers but, will not be able to figure out which is ACCURATE

I don't think you can get a DRIVERS license but I know you can get a non-driver ID card. I think you need to take a driving test. Most of my international friends have non-drivers ID cards

I think as a foreign license holder with a social security number you may be able to get a local driver's license assuming you meet the DMV's requirements (which maybe doing a driving course and/or test). Check New York State Department of Motor Vehicles - NYS DMV - NYSDMV - Driver - Vehicle .
