Nope.
They had already had dinner when I arrived.
I have already been to New York. It was 2 years ago.
Try to use already with Perfect Tenses...

La première phrase peut etre correcte en ce qui concerne le temps - ca depend de ce que tu veux dire. Mais on dirait plutot
They were already eating when I arrived.
They had already started eating when I arrived.
La deuxième est également correcte en ce qui concerne le temps (mais on dirait 'I was already in New York'). Mais la phrase toute seule sans contexte fait bizarre à cause du mot 'already'. Already par rapport à quoi?
C'est une question de justesse plutot que de concordance il me semble. Enfin, si tu mets les versions françaises , on pourrait mieux repondre...
