Some don’t consider Brooklyn (or Queens, or SI, or the Bronx) to be New York City, “proper.”

That is correct. When we said “The City” we meant Manhattan. When we were going to Queens or Brooklyn, we’d say Queens or Brooklyn. If you lived in Brooklyn, Queens, or Long Island and went to Manhattan, you’d say I’m going to the City.
