is the case, then you could consider Yonkers as part of the Metro NYC area.
I'm not convinced about Long Island.  Most Long Islanders have never set foot

if you are including all of Long Island (Montauk is over 100 miles away), then
you should consider the SW corner of CT as well.

But I would still suggest two purely technical nitpicks.  1. Either use all
county names or all borough names for the 5 boroughs of NYC.  2. Manhattan is
never called Manhattan Island.
