A wealthy island off of Manhattan in the state of the New York. Traditionally, it consists of solely the affluent counties of Suffolk and Nassau. Geographically, it also contains the New York City boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn, although no one considers people from the boroughs to be "Long Islanders". Known for its abundance of Italian-Americans and Irish-Americans, in addition to extremely high cost of living and nice beaches, which also function as a summer destination for people from New York City.
You know you're in Long Island when the high school students are driving better cars than the teachers.
