Brooklyn's water borders are extensive and varied, including
Jamaica Bay; the
Atlantic Ocean;
The Narrows, separating Brooklyn from the borough of
Staten Island in New York City and crossed by the
Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge;
Upper New York Bay, separating Brooklyn from
Jersey City and
Bayonne in the
U.S. state of
New Jersey; and the
East River, separating Brooklyn from the borough of Manhattan in New York City and traversed by the
Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, the
Brooklyn Bridge, the
Manhattan Bridge, the
Williamsburg Bridge, and numerous routes of the
New York City Subway. To the east of Brooklyn lies the borough of Queens, which contains
John F. Kennedy International Airport in that borough's
Jamaica neighborhood, approximately two miles from the border of Brooklyn's
East New York neighborhood.
