Is an island off Manhattan island, that is 118 miles
long.
Long Island contains Queens, Brooklyn, Nassau, and Suffolk counties. Queens and Brooklyn are part of the 5 boroughs of New York City.
Nassau and Suffolk Counties are not part of the 5 boroughs and are strictly just
Long Island.
***I
don't know why, but many that live in Queens and Brooklyn think they're not part of "
long island". Sorry, unless there is some
river that just appears overnight over the Queens/Nassau border, you are part of THIS island!
***Many that live in Nassau and Suffolk (not all sorry if I generalized somebody), think that once you cross that Queens/Nassau border, you are no longer part of
long island. Nope, they're the city limits, and also geographically connected to this very island.
If you want to listen to me,
maybe you should substitute the term "
long island" if you live in Queens or Brooklyn, to "going out east" or "out in the island", just something like that etc. Same thing goes for you guys in Nassau and Suffolk, when your heading towards Queens or Brooklyn, just say "Queens" or "Brooklyn"
