Right-wing New York City is pretty much the following:

Bronx: A small band of white neighborhoods running down the east coast - Country Club, Eastchester Bay, Edgewater Park, Locust Point, Silver Beach. These areas aren't incredibly right-wing, but they're also not that white any longer (shifting Latino) meaning the white population is pretty conservative. I think these are all Italian.

Queens: Lots of little pockets here and there. Aside from the Orthodox populations in Kew Gardens Hills and the portions of Five Towns within city limits, these are all more "white ethnic" zones, and not incredibly conservative. In Northeast Queens this includes sections or all of Beechhurst, Whitestone, Bayside, Utopia, and Hillcrest. All these areas are tending Asian and getting less Republican. In Northwest Queens there's still a light-red, working-class white area around Middle Village (though it's trending Latino). In South Queens Howard Beach, Broad Channel, and basically all the white areas of Rockaway are Republican.

Brooklyn: The only Republican areas outside of South Brooklyn are the Orthodox/Hasidic portions of Williamsburg and Crown Heights. However, basically everything majority-white in Southern Brooklyn (other than Bay Ridge and some white parts of Flatbush) is Republican. This includes Borough Park, Midwood, Bergen Beach, Sheepshead bay, Brighton Beach, Manhattan Beach, Sea Gate, etc. Areas like Dyker Heights, Bensonhurst, and Bath Beach historically were also pretty Republican, but it's been retreating to enclaves since the whole area is shifting to a majority Asian electorate.

Staten Island: Basically everything south of 278 is Republican, along with some neighborhoods to the north, like Westerleigh and Castleton Corners. Interestingly, southern Staten Island is actually more conservative than anywhere in Nassau County.
