The newly released 1940s census was mentioned here before.
Now they had made it searchable by name - only for several states, including NY (Long Island records are available).

1940 United States Federal Census - Ancestry.com

Requires free registration - quite nice - you can search for relatives or famous people. Pulls a summary record and links to the scanned original data.

I searched both of my birth parents. I learned my grandfather on my mothers side was an English citizen in 1940. Very cool stuff, you can find out their rent and income.

This was awesome- I found my grandfathers. One came over from Ireland when he was 20. I thought it was interesting that my great grandfather was a dressmaker.
