Todd, I think you may have broken NYC down too much.  You could probably
condense Bronx (The Bronx), Kings (which is the borough of Brooklyn but you

Suffolk and
Nassau could be combined into Long Island.
Yonkers is best left to itself  :')

Is Long Island part of New York City or a part of New York state?

Long Island is part of NY State.  Yonkers is a separate City at the base of NY
State (right up the Hudson).
