∙ 13y agoYes, they are the same thing. Properly addressed mail to Manhattan residents or businesses is addressed to, "New York, NY, 10010" or "New York, NY, 10025."
Originally, New York City consisted mostly of just Manhattan, which is why, I believe, mail addressed to Manhattan is addressed to, "New York, NY." In 1898, the five boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island) united to form modern-day New York City.
Mail addressed to people in Brooklyn is addressed to, "Brooklyn, NY"; mail addressed to people in The Bronx is addressed to, "Bronx, NY," and mail addressed to people on Staten Island is addressed to, "Staten Island, NY."
I believe that mail addressed to people in Queens is typically addressed to, "Queens, NY." But, before it became a borough of New York City, Queens consisted of a bunch of small towns. These towns are technically neighborhoods now, but they still sometimes seem to be used for postal purposes. For example, sometimes you see mail to people in the neighborhood of Forest Hills, Queens addressed to, "Forest Hills, NY" rather than, "Queens, NY."

∙ 13y agoNew York City is in New York State. The proper name of both is "New York," but when there is a need to differentiate between the two, they are called "New York City" and "New York State."
For example, if you asked, "Who is the Mayor of New York?" it would not be necessary to say "New York City," since only cities have mayors. States have governors.
But if you asked, "What is the population of New York?" or "What is the land size of New York?" people would not know whether you are talking about New York City or New York State, so it would be necessary to specify.
So the answer to your question is both yes and no.
