I guess if you live in or around a city, to you that is THE city. And where I live, the Bay Area, San Francisco is THE city. Not Oakland, not San Jose, not Foster City (even though it has "city" in its name), but San Francisco. And no one I know here calls it "Frisco"

obviously, many people call their respective cities "the city" but there is only one CITY: Manhattan.
Brooklyn is not the city, Queens is not the city, the Bronx is not the city & Staten Island is NOT the city.
Only Manhattan is the City.
It is the greatest city on earth.
New York City is the City.
Brooklyn is not the city, Queens is not the city, the Bronx is not the city & Staten Island is NOT the city.

New York City is the City.
We're going to the City tomorrow, are you coming?
She lives in the City? I thought she lived in Brooklyn.

The City refers to Manhattan OR the five boroughs. If you live in the boroughs, then 'The City' is definately Manhattan. Outside of the boroughs, it can mean the boroughs as a whole or just Manhattan.
Remember: New York City isn't just Manhatten, it's the whole five boroughs (Brooklyn, The Bronx, Queens, Staten Island and Manhattan).

Brooklyn is not "the city."
The Bronx is not "the city."
Queens is not "the city."
And Staten Island CERTAINLY is not "the city."
And Long Island isn't even a borough.
