Regarding Long Island, I would say Long Island is pretty famous (the island was even mentioned in the OP!) but I am not sure if many Americans know what Long Island actually is. This is particularly true of Suffolk County, which is more than just suburbs.
Regarding Lexington (and Concord), a couple of people mentioned they think of Lexington, Kentucky first. I am the exact opposite. I think of Lexington, Massachusetts first, but maybe because I like history so much. I do concede that not everyone will know they are suburbs of Boston though.
Some prominent Black people from Long Island include John Coltrane, Julius Erving, LL Cool J, Eddie Murphy, and Jim Brown.
On a separate note, got plastered a number of times in my college years drinking a Long Island Iced Tea. How many other suburbs have something named after them….Scarsdale diet comes to mind.
Isnt LL Cool J from Hollis, Queens?
