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.

as the crow flies, Providence is 154 miles from NYC.
but i digress, south side of Chicago to the north side of Indianapolis is 144 miles. Does that count under your method?
