See Long Island on the map below. Yes, the geographic feature known as Long Island includes both Queens and Brooklyn.

Where do you think the name "Long Island City" came from? :-)

Since I was born in Queens and lived on Long Island for about my first ten years, I would appreciate you not lecturing me on its geographic locations.

Long Island City is part of Queens. It has different representatives, council members than any part of Long Island. If you are living on Long Island, you are NOT living in the city of New York. If you are living in Long Island City, you are.
