Also regarding the "outlying boroughs:" New York City has five boroughs - Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx. So saying anything is a "borough of Manhattan" is incorrect because Manhattan is itself a borough.

The people who told me Tri-State included PA were all from New Jersey and went to school in Philadelphia, New York City, or elsewhere, so this makes more sense to me as I was on the receiving end of their perspective. Also Connecticut doesn't touch New Jersey and my construct of Tri-States is all of them touching (example Idaho Oregon Washington; Montana Idaho Wyoming). Long Island is protecting Connecticut from New Jersey.
At least I knew the borough thing was all wrong
