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.
