Question about New York City?

I’m confused about New York City.
Is Brooklyn NYC or no?
What about Manhattan?

Would someone from Queens say they are from Queens or NYC?

Can someone explain?

Manhattan = NYC

If you’re from one of the other boroughs, you’d identify yourself as such. Like, “My step-daughter goes to school in the Bronx.” From there, it’s only a short subway ride into “the city”.
