Partway correct. Long Island contains two of New York City's boroughs, Brooklyn and Queens. New York City also includes Manhattan, Bronx and Staten Island. Long Island also contains other counties.

There is a long island off the coast of New York and Connecticut. Politically all of that island is part of the state of New York. It includes four counties. From southwest to northeast they are Kings County, Queens County, Nassas and then Suffolk County. Kings County is Brooklyn, and Queens County is Queens: they are two of the five boroughs of New York City. Nassau and Suffolk are part of New York Stat but not part of New York City.

The other boroughs of NYC are Staten Island (Richmond County), Manhatta (New York County), and the Bronx (Bronx County). Only the Bronx is on the mainland.

NYC is the five boroughs, queens and Brooklyn are on Long Island. Manhattan is it’s own island. Staten Island is it’s own island. Bronx is the only one I’m not sure of but pretty sure they’re part of Yonkers.

I honestly don’t know where some of you people are getting your facts from but NYC Is made up of 5 boroughs and Eric Adams is our mayor. This is coming from someone who is born and raised in NYC all their lives.

Long Island. I think you're conflating the cultural/political identity of Long Island with the landmass of Log Island. Brooklyn and Queens are located in the landmass of Long Island. From a cultural and political sense, Long Island refers to Nassau and Suffolk and excludes Queens and Brooklyn which are part of a larger NYC identity.

Edit: meant to reply to your other comment.

Actually the entire island of Long Island has 4 counties. Kings county (Brooklyn), Queens county, Suffolk County and Nassau county. Of the 4, 2 are part of the 5 boroughs that make us NYC. When making a reference to Long Island they usually refer to Nassau and Suffolk county.

Well I guess boarders mean nothing. If you told someone you were going to Long Island and took them to Brooklyn or Queens that would not be where they were asking to go. Now is queens physically attached to Long Island yes but they are not apart of the same city or government and have a different vibe from NYC.

So I live in Queens(my whole life) working in Long Island.

So NYC is the 5 boroughs. Long Island are suburbs outside of NYC with numerous towns. NYC is not on LI
