No. New York City is not in any one county. It is the opposite, in fact: the counties are in New York City.
New York City is comprised of five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island. Each borough is also a county: Manhattan is New York County, Brooklyn is Kings County, Staten Island is Richmond County, and Queens and The Bronx have the same names (Queens County and The Bronx County).
New York City is the most populous city in the Northeast area of the United States. Other major cities include Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore and Newark.
Kings County is part of New York City. It is the borough of Brooklyn. Each of New York City's five boroughs is also a county: Manhattan is New York County, Brooklyn is Kings County, Queens is Queens County, Staten Island is Richmond County, and The Bronx is Bronx County.
If you are asking about the "country"-- New York City is part of the state of New York; it is in one of the fifty states that make up the United States of America (abbreviated USA). So, the United States is the country that New York is part of. But if you are asking about the "county," New York City is part of New York County. Another big city in the area, Brooklyn, is in a different county-- Kings County-- but it's still part of the state of New York, and both big cities are in the United States of America.
Yes, Roosevelt Island is officially considered to be part of the borough of Manhattan, and New York County (each of New York City's five boroughs is also a county, and Manhattan is New York County).
Irvine is part of Orange County!
Westchester is directly north of The Bronx. If you continue heading north in The Bronx, you will end up in Westchester. The Bronx is one of the five boroughs of New York City (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island). Westchester County is part of New York State, but NOT part of New York City. Westchester is upstate of New York City, but it is still very close to the southern tip of New York State. Nobody besides New York City residents would ever call Westchester "upstate."

Each New York City borough is also a county: Manhattan is New York County, Brooklyn is Kings County, Staten Island is Richmond County, and the other two have the same names (Queens is Queens County and The Bronx is Bronx County).
No. The five boroughs of New York City are Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island. Each borough is also a county: Manhattan is New York County, Brooklyn is Kings County, Queens is Queens County, The Bronx is Bronx County and Staten Island is Richmond County. Brooklyn and Queens -- Kings and Queens Counties -- are on Long Island, along with Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Nassau County and Suffolk County are part of New York State, but not part of New York City. Long Island is not only New York State's largest island, but the continental United States's largest island.
Brooklyn. In 1898, the five boroughs -- Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island -- consolidated to form modern-day New York City. Before 1898, New York City consisted mostly of just Manhattan. Brooklyn is the only one of the other four boroughs that was its own city before becoming a borough of New York City. The other three were counties: Queens was Queens County, Staten Island was Richmond County, and The Bronx was part of New York County. In fact, the borough of Staten Island was called the borough of Richmond until 1975. The Bronx ceased to be part of New York County, and became coextensive with the new Bronx County, in 1914. So today, each of the five boroughs is also a county in state government: Manhattan is New York County, Brooklyn is Kings County, The Bronx is Bronx County, Queens is still Queens County, and Staten Island is still Richmond County.
New Rochelle is not in New York City. It is around 35 minutes south of NYC, in the southern part of Westchester County, NY.
