Manhattan and Brooklyn. Brooklyn is the closest, though. It's only 1.5 miles (2.4 km) across the narrowest point of the Narrows (a strait formed by the two boroughs, between Upper and Lower New York Bay) between Staten Island and Brooklyn, close enough for a bridge (the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge) to span the water and connect them.
Manhattan is a little less than 8 miles (12.9 km) northwest of the tip of Staten Island, across Upper New York Bay.
