The Verrazano-Narrows Bridge (or just the Verrazano Bridge) connects Staten Island to Brooklyn. Brooklyn and Queens are on Long Island. If you continue heading north in Brooklyn, you will end up in Queens, and if you continue heading east from Brooklyn/Queens, you will end up on the rest of Long Island.
Brooklyn and Queens are part of New York City, while the rest of Long Island is not. For that reason, many people think that Brooklyn and Queens are not part of Long Island. I have lived in New York City all my life, and I never knew that Brooklyn and Queens were considered part of Long Island until last week.
In truth, "Long Island" is just a geographical name for the WHOLE island, including Brooklyn and Queens. Nassau County and Suffolk County are the proper (political) names for the part of Long Island that is outside the New York City limits.
See the Related Link below for a New York City subway map. The map shows you all of the five boroughs, except Staten Island. You can see Staten Island at the bottom left corner of the map, but the entire island is not shown, since the subway doesn't go there. The eastern part of Long Island is also not on the map, but Brooklyn and Queens are, and they are clearly labeled.
You can take the George Washington Bridge. The GWB connects New Jersey to Upper Manhattan. It traverses the Hudson River at Fort Lee, New Jersey, and around 181st Street in Manhattan. You can also take a detour through Staten Island and Brooklyn. The Bayonne Bridge connects New Jersey to Staten Island, and the Verrazano Bridge connects Staten Island to Brooklyn. Then you would take the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel into Manhattan.
There are three bridges connecting Manhattan to Brooklyn: the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge and Williamsburg Bridge. You can remember them, and the order they are in from south to north, very easily, as the acronym formed by their names is the name of a popular kind of car, the BMW: Brooklyn, Manhattan, Williamsburg.

Kennedy Bridge (formerly the Triborough Bridge), the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge, the Throggs Neck Bridge, the Henry Hudson Bridge and the George Washington Bridge.

The East River, which is actually not a river, but an estuary, or a tidal strait. Unlike a true river, it connects to the ocean on both sides. It flows south from the Long Island Sound, down the east side of Manhattan and the west side of Queens and Brooklyn, into the Atlantic Ocean.There are three bridges that connect Brooklyn to lower Manhattan: the Brooklyn Bridge, the Williamsburg Bridge, and the Manhattan Bridge. The Manhattan Bridge is the southernmost of the three: it connects to Manhattan at Canal Street. The Williamsburg Bridge is in the middle; it connects to Manhattan at Delancey Street. The Brooklyn Bridge is the northernmost of the three, connecting to Manhattan at Houston Street.
Yes there is. Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island are the five.
