Obviously there is no "answer" to this question, as there is no commonly agreed upon centerpoint of any city. Different references will have different point-to-point data.

I imagine this would be nonsensical, as there would be then be no standard for any city. There is no way to make a 150 mile radius if you are measuring from each furthest possible point.
For NYC, for example, Baltimore would easily be within 150 miles when measured from Staten Island. Philly is only 50 miles from Tottenville, Staten Island.
