Headed to NYC in couple of weeks. Want to take a tour of The Bronx, Harlem, Queens, Brooklyn. What is the best way to tour these areas? Should we book a bus tour or private tour? Or taking subway or just uber to specific stops…

Harlem isn't an outer borough. It's in Manhattan.
I would do a little research and think about specific places in each that you're interested in seeing. Brooklyn alone could take up a few days depending on what you're interested in seeing.

What is your goal for a tour, to see as much as you can in one day, to visit 3-4 unique/historic site or neighborhoods, or somewhere in between? I ask because NYC is (obviously) a huge city, but there are cool/unique/fun/interesting places in many of the literally hundreds of neighborhoods spread across the boroughs.
You probably need to narrow down a little bit about what you want to find (parks, museums, interesting architecture, good food, historic sites, etc.), if for no other reason that the subway is a great way to get around, but once you get out of Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn subway stops can be really far from one another and many great neighborhoods are more accessible via bus the train.

Brooklyn in and of itself is the size of Chicago.

Arthur Avenue in the Bronx for Italian, the real little Italy frick mulberry st
Dominick’s is cash only but great old school joint
Roberto’s on crescent ave nearby is also legit and I think they take card
Area is not far from the zoo/botanical gardens

Most of the interesting stuff is going to be within walking distance to a subway. Anything that's not is going to be more residential and not that interesting to a tourist.
Brooklyn: Take the L train and get off any of the first 5 or so stops. Williamsburg, Greenpoint, trendy areas of Bushwick. Carroll Gardens and area by the Barclays Center is nice too. Walk the Brooklyn Bridge and hang out in Dumbo
Bronx: Never really been other than Yankee Stadium. Zoo supposed to be cool.
Queens: Long Island City, Astoria for Greek, Flushing for Asian food
Staten Island: Wife was born there so I've been a few times. Don't really have recommendations but Deninos pizza is the best Ive ever had. Not close to the ferry though
