Kind of...but no, not really. The Bronx is the only New York City borough that is attached to the mainland of New York State. Manhattan is an island that is located directly below The Bronx. The two boroughs are separated by the Harlem River, which flows from the Hudson River, down over the top of Manhattan and the bottom of The Bronx, and into the East River.
Brooklyn, along with Queens, is located across the East River from Manhattan. The East River flows from the bay known as the Long Island Sound, down the east side of Manhattan and the west side of Queens and Brooklyn, and into the Atlantic Ocean.
Queens is located on top of Brooklyn; the northern border of Brooklyn is the southern border of Queens. Queens and Brooklyn both occupy the western end of Long Island. Long Island is huge; you can't miss it on the map. It's the largest island in the continental United States. It's located just below, and directly to the east of, the bottom point of New York State.
The bottom point of New York State is where The Bronx is. So, Queens (and below it, Brooklyn) are located directly below and to the east of The Bronx. The northwest side of Queens is across the Long Island Sound from the south side of The Bronx.
If this answer is too confusing for you, then see the Related Link below for a complete New York City subway map. The five boroughs, plus the Hudson, Harlem and East Rivers, and the Long Island Sound, are all visible and clearly labeled.
Note that the borough of Staten Island is not on the map. The tip of it is visible, in the lower left-hand corner of the map, but the entire island is not shown, since the subway doesn't go there.

Brooklyn (named after the Dutch town Breukelen) is one of the five boroughs of New York City, located at the western end of Long Island. An independent city until its consolidation with New York in 1898, Brooklyn is New York City's most populous borough, with 2.5 million residents,[1] and second largest in area.If the borough were a separate city, it would be the fourth-largest city in the United States. Since 1896, Brooklyn has had the same boundaries as Kings County, which is now the most populous county in New York State, and the second most densely populated county in the United States, after New York County (Manhattan).[2][3]Though a part of New York City, Brooklyn maintains a distinct culture, independent art scene, and unique architectural heritage.
