No, they are separate islands, but they are connected by several bridges and tunnels.
Just one: The George Washington Bridge. New Jersey is also connected to New York City via the Bayonne and Verrazano Bridges. The Bayonne Bridge connects New Jersey to Staten Island, and the Verrazano connects Staten Island to Brooklyn. But this technically does not count, since you asked, "How many bridges connect Manhattan to New Jersey?" not, "How many bridges connect New York City to New Jersey?" Also, the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels connect Manhattan to New Jersey. But, obviously, tunnels aren't the same as bridges.
There are four tunnels connecting to Manhattan: the Lincoln Tunnel, Holland Tunnel, Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, and Queens-Midtown Tunnel. The Lincoln and Holland Tunnels connect New Jersey to Manhattan. The Queens-Midtown Tunnel connects Queens to Manhattan, and the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel connects Brooklyn to Manhattan.

Brooklyn is connected to Queens by land. It is also connected by 3 bridges and 2 tunnels to Manhattan. It is connected by one bridge to Staten Island.
It is an island, and is not connected to the mainland US except by man-made bridges and tunnels (9 bridges, 13 tunnels including rail and transit).It's an island, of course. It isn't called "Long Peninsula", is it?
The Hudson River has tunnels that run underneath it to link New York and New Jersey. One of these tunnels is called the Holland Tunnel.
There are a total of 2,000 bridges and tunnels in New York City alone. In the Bronx there are five bridges - Pelham Bridge, Hutchinson River Parkway Bridge, Unionport Bridge, Eastern Boulevard Bridge, and City Island Bridge.
"No roads, tunnels, or bridges lead into the state of Hawaii. The only means of transportation into the island train are by ship or airplane."
You can get to Brooklyn by airplane (to JFK or LaGuardia, then take a taxi), by NYC subway, by Long Island Railroad, by taxi, by bus (including Greyhound), by water taxi, by bicycle or by walking. Three bridges and a tunnel connect Brooklyn to Manhattan. No more streetcars, sorry. Amtrak doesn't stop in Brooklyn, but does in nearby Manhattan.
