I would think because they are part of the 5 boroughs.

Depending on where he lived... he could have crossed a bridge.

Re: Silly question: Why are Brooklyn and Queens people

politically, not long island
geographically, long island

To me LI is a different world. When i was a kid when we went to LI it was "going to the country."

In Brooklyn and Queens, I think we can relate to NYC more, because yes, we are a part of NYC. We have NYC government, NYC laws, NYC taxes, NYC school system, NYC water. Nassau and Suffolk ahve a lot more in common with each other than with brooklyn of queens and brooklyn and queens have a lot more in common with the other 3 boroughs than with LI.

Most NYC residents do NOT live in Manhattan.

Just look at the car insurance rates and you'll see the IS a difference btw NYC and LI

I'm not even kidding!

My uncle lived in bayshore and it was like disneyland to me

"Mommy...what are those funny things on the side of the road?"
"mailboxes"

"There are no sidewalks here!"

"Uncle P has a park behind his house!"
"That's a backyard!"

The non-numbered streets thing STILL freaks me out...

I'm like "how the hell do people know where to go?"

Everywhere in LI, someone has to tell you how to get there, wheras in parts of the city with numbered streets, you get the address and you go.
