Long Island
 
Long Island (USA)
Long Island (appartenente allo stato di New York) è l'isola maggiore (3.566 km², 7.150.000 abitanti) della costa orientale degli  USA di fronte agli stati di  New York e Connecticut. È separata dal continente dallo stretto di Long Island Sound, lungo 175 km e largo da 5 a 32 km.L'isola è suddivisa in quattro contee: Kings, Queens, Nassau e Suffolk: le prime due corrispondono rispettivamente ai distretti di Brooklyn e di Queens della città di New York. Comunque, quando ci si riferisce a "Long Island" nel linguaggio di tutti i giorni, di solito si intende parlare solo delle contee di Suffolk e Nassau, in quanto Brooklyn e Queens, pur facendo parte dell'isola a tutti gli effetti, nell'immaginario collettivo sono maggiormente legati alla città di New York.
