NYC is a big city in terms of land area. Given the distance from Manhattan and core of the city, Brooklyn and Queens would be considered suburbs in a lot of other cities.

I don't think I've ever heard someone refer to Park Slope, Bed Stuy, or Crown Heights as suburban. Levittown is the usual yard-stick by which American suburbanism is measured.

Maybe based on distance as the crow flies. But not based on density, and (when the subways aren't as broken as they are at the moment) not based on commute times.
