No, Long Island is not a city, or a county, or a borough. Long Island is a geographical expression that has no meaning in state government. That is to say, the term, "Long Island," is an unofficial name that collectively describes the entire island and all the towns, cities and counties that are on it.
In other words, Long Island is nothing more than an island.
Long Island is made up of four counties: Kings County, Queens County, Nassau County and Suffolk County. Two of these counties, Kings and Queens, are also boroughs of New York City. The borough of Brooklyn is also Kings County, and the borough of Queens is also Queens County.
The other two counties -- Nassau and Suffolk -- are part of New York State, but not part of New York City.
However, the term, "Long Island," is often used colloquially to describe only the part of Long Island that is not part of New York City (Nassau and Suffolk County). Even though Brooklyn and Queens (Kings and Queens Counties) are on Long Island, people -- especially New Yorkers -- often say, "I'm going to Long Island this weekend," when they really mean, "I'm going to somewhere on either Nassau or Suffolk County."
If they were going to Brooklyn or Queens, then they'd say, "I'm going to Brooklyn/Queens," not, "I'm going to Long Island."
