No, the bay known as the Long Island Sound separates Queens and The Bronx. The East River flows from the Long Island Sound, down the east side of Manhattan and the west side of Queens and Brooklyn, and into the Atlantic Ocean at New York Harbor.
The south side of The Bronx is across the Long Island Sound from the north side of Queens.

Is East 138th Street on the East River in Manhattan or the Bronx?
Bronx.
How deep is the Bronx river?
It's anywhere between 30ft to 100ft....depending where in the east river you are.
Is Manhattan in between the Bronx and Brooklyn?
Kind of...but no, not really. The Bronx is the only New York City borough that is attached to the mainland of New York State. Manhattan is an island that is located directly below The Bronx. The two boroughs are separated by the Harlem River, which flows from the Hudson River, down over the top of Manhattan and the bottom of The Bronx, and into the East River. Brooklyn, along with Queens, is located across the East River from Manhattan. The East River flows from the bay known as the Long Island Sound, down the east side of Manhattan and the west side of Queens and Brooklyn, and into the Atlantic Ocean. Queens is located on top of Brooklyn; the northern border of Brooklyn is the southern border of Queens. Queens and Brooklyn both occupy the western end of Long Island. Long Island is huge; you can't miss it on the map. It's the largest island in the continental United States. It's located just below, and directly to the east of, the bottom point of New York State. The bottom point of New York State is where The Bronx is. So, Queens (and below it, Brooklyn) are located directly below and to the east of The Bronx. The northwest side of Queens is across the Long Island Sound from the south side of The Bronx. If this answer is too confusing for you, then see the Related Link below for a complete New York City subway map. The five boroughs, plus the Hudson, Harlem and East Rivers, and the Long Island Sound, are all visible and clearly labeled. Note that the borough of Staten Island is not on the map. The tip of it is visible, in the lower left-hand corner of the map, but the entire island is not shown, since the subway doesn't go there.
What rivers flow through new york?
The Hudson River runs along the western side of Manhattan and the Bronx, the Harlem River separates the northern end of Manhattan from the southern end of the Bronx, and the East River runs along the eastern side of Manhattan separating it from Queens and the Bronx.
What river an arm of the Hudson separates Manhattan and the Bronx from Brooklyn and Queens?
The East River, which is actually not a river, but an estuary, or a tidal strait. Unlike a true river, it connects to the ocean on both sides. It flows south from the Long Island Sound, down past the east side of Manhattan and the west side of Queens and Brooklyn, and into the Atlantic Ocean.
What are the rivers of New York City?
The rivers surrounding New York City are the Hudson River, the Harlem River and the East River. However, the Hudson is the only true river of the three. The Harlem and East Rivers are tidal straits. The East River connects to the ocean on both sides. It flows south from the bay known as the Long Island Sound, down the east side of Manhattan and the west side of Queens and Brooklyn, and into the Atlantic Ocean at New York Harbor. The Harlem River branches off of the Hudson River, and flows down over the top of Manhattan and the bottom of the Bronx, into the East River.
What is the bridge that goes from Manhattan to Astoria?
The Robert F. Kennedy Bridge (aka the Triborough or Triboro Bridge). Randall's Island is considered to be part of the borough of Manhattan, although it is a completely separate island, located at the north end of the East River, in between "mainland" Manhattan (to the west), the borough of Queens (to the east, at the Astoria neighborhood) and the borough of the Bronx (to the north). The RFK/Triboro Bridge extends in a T-shape across Randall's Island, spanning the water at three different points: between Manhattan and Randall's Island, Astoria, Queens and Randall's Island, and the Bronx and Randall's Island. It is a three-way connection between Manhattan, Queens and the Bronx, hence its name, the Triborough/Triboro Bridge.
What is the distance between Manhattan and Queens?
The width of the East River.
Do New York City subways travel underwater?
I assume you are asking if the subway tunnels go under rivers or oceans. The answer is yes. For example, the NYC subway goes to Brooklyn and Queens, which is on the opposite site of the East river from Manhattan.
How many miles is it from Queens to Manhattan?
Queens is right across the East River from Manhattan. So the distance between them is the width of the East River, which is about 2000 feet (less than half a mile).
What are the rivers in Brooklyn?
There are no rivers in Brooklyn. The Bronx is the only New York City borough that has a river running through it: The Bronx River. Brooklyn is bordered on its west side by the East River, but the East River is not a true river, as it connects to the ocean on both sides.
Is Rikers Island in The Bronx?
No, and yes. Rikers Island is an actual island. It is located at the north end of the East River, in between Manhattan, The Bronx and Queens. So it is not physically part of the borough of the Bronx (which is the only New York City borough that is not an island or part of an island, but is attached to the mainland of New York State). But officially -- in state government -- Rikers Island is considered to be part of the Bronx, the same way that Governors Island and Roosevelt Island (which are also actual islands) are considered to be part of the borough of Manhattan. However, since its only bridge connects to the Astoria neighborhood of Queens, Rikers Island is included as part of Queens Community Board 1, and it has a Queens zip code.
