Because of tides coming from from NYC, the Hudson flows both ways. The native Americans who lived in the area called it Muhheakantuck, the river that flows both ways. When the tide comes in, it flows north.

None. All rivers flow forwards. However, some rivers in the North American continent flow primarily to the north, which is generally considered to be not typical of rivers in North America, since the higher elevations are in the central and northern portions of the continent. Since water must flow downhill, rivers in North America generally flow to the south.

West of what is called "The Continental Divide," rivers will flow to the south and west. East of that, they will flow to the south and east. There are a few notable exceptions. The related link below lists some of them.

The Chicago River in the United States is known for flowing backwards due to engineering modifications, specifically the reversal of the river's course in 1900 to divert polluted water away from Lake Michigan.
