Using my method, Providence is 143 straight-line miles from NYC. If you use what Google Earth or Mapquest, etc use as the city center - the straight-line distance is approximately 150 miles. It's a relative distance between the MSAs, not the city itself.
New Haven is included. It's just not in the top 6 Largest when you include New York itself - its the 7th. For New York, there are 23 MSAs used for the calculation - just the 6 largest are listed.
