Well, more like zero (Queens and Brooklyn are part of both the city and the Island, unless you're talking like the locals, to whom The City is Manhattan, and the rest is referred to by borough name) to 120 miles east.

It ain't just the old movies---that accent is alive and well and living in Queens. How Queens and Brooklyn accents can be so different (they're adjacent on the Island) is beyond me. -- Best wishes, Max Hyre (from New Haven, Connecticut, where The City is indeed Manhattan)
