Answer 3

New York City is situated on three islands: Manhattan Island, Staten Island and Long Island.

The five boroughs of New York City are Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island.

Manhattan and Staten Island are each islands, and Brooklyn and Queens are part of the island known as Long Island. The remainder of Long Island, while part of New York State, is not part of New York City.

The Bronx 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.
