Long Islanders
New York commuters
Long Islanders are people who live on or come from Long Island, New York—the densely populated island stretching east from New York City.
The term typically refers to residents of Nassau and Suffolk Counties rather than the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens, which are technically on the island but culturally distinct.
Long Islanders are stereotyped for their distinctive accent and suburban sensibilities.
