just a reminder for non- New Yorkers... 2 of the five boroughs of NYC are actually the western two counties of Long Island. Kings (aka Brooklyn) and Queens counties. Also Richmond (aka Staten Island... but not the one named in the hornpipe); New York county (aka Manhatten; and finally the Bronx... the only one on the mainland and has the same name as the county.

BTW... Long island, though completely surrounded by water and connected only by bridges to the mainland is legally defined as a pennisula. This the same ones who define whales as fishes... reality as seen through the eyes of lawyers and politicians...
