Henrietta, New York is not a borough of New York City!
This author is a long time resident in the southern suburbs of Rochester NY who likes to share some of her favorite places in the area.
Welcome to Henrietta... my Hometown
The reason I say that Henrietta, New York is not part of NYC is because when I was traveling on the road with my family, most kids, and a lot of adults, thought this was so.
As soon as you said New York, you could See in their eyes the high rise buildings, traffic, glamour, and even the perceived danger of The Big Apple in their eyes.
OK, so this is a little literary license, since I was a child then, too.
Henrietta is just south of Rochester in Upstate New York, which is also not part of New York City. Really.

Oops, can you spot Rascal, our Chocolate Labrador?
He's also a resident of Henrietta, the sneaky boy. He somehow opened the screen door to escape. But he's highly aware he did a naughty. See how he is so low to the ground? He's admitting he's guilty as charged.

Plenty of Snow for Area Winter Sports

Funny you mentioned people not familiar with NY State thinking Henrietta (or any part of western NY State) is just a suburb of NYC. I went to college (from Rochester) in Kansas (long story) and people 'out there' (who had never been to the East Coast) asked me such questions as "Do you go into New York City to do your grocery shopping?". Duh -- NYC is 400 miles from Rochester! LOL. Yes, mention New York and everyone assumes it's ALL New York City! Love your western NY stories!
