Question

How many miles is Long Island from NY City?

Answer 1

0, Brooklyn and Queens are 2 boroughs of NYC, both are on Long Island.

Answer 2

Harry is right; Brooklyn and Queens are actually on Long Island, the very western end of Long Island.  So, if you mean how far is Long Island from Manhattan, then it's just across the East River.  

From Brooklyn to Montauk, the eastern most tip of Long Island, is about 115 miles.

Answer 3

parts of nyc are on long island but manhattan to the nassau county border is about 20 miles, it all depends on the town.
