Question

Is the east river (nyc) a true river?

Answer 1

Strictly speaking no.  It's the cemetary for all the goodfellas.  LOL

Answer 2

I don't think so, goomizer. The East River is more of a strait that separates Manhattan from Brooklyn & Queens, which are part of Long Island.

Answer 3

No, it's a tidal strait that separates Long Island from Manhatten and The Bronx, (New York City).

Answer 4

Strictly speaking, no.  It's a tidal strait (as in the Strait of Magellan) that separates Long Island from Manhattan and the Bronx.
