Anecdotally, friends who grew up in Long Island and live in Brooklyn, call Manhattan alone “the City”. Brooklyn is Brooklyn, Manhattan is the City.
And it’s not really analogous to Detroit, Chicago or anywhere else in the US because those places don’t have boroughs. NYC is also huge, geographically, for an East Coast city (compare it to Boston, Philly, DC).
