Queens is not an island. I said it was ON Long Island. It is. Here’s what I said, emphasis added
>> The interesting thing here is that Queens is ON an island <<
Which infers that Queens is an island. Technically you are correct, however, Queens is a borough of New York City. I was born in Brooklyn and lived in Queens until my family and I escaped. To say that Queens is on an island makes it appear like an isolated borough like Staten Island.
