There are some exceptions to NYS law per the article below. Considering what Manafort is facing the feds and state can charge him with different crimes and lacking a pardon he is fair game to both.

Right now, New York state law prevents people from being prosecuted more than once for crimes related to the same act, even if the original prosecution was in federal court. There are already a number of exceptions to the law, and the letter says that Mr. Schneiderman is proposing to add a new one that could be used if federal pardons are issued.
