You'd count downtowns (or where city hall is located). Downtown Providence (easy to figure out) to nYc. To be liberal, I've picked Bleecker and Broadway, which is some blocks north of what most maps pick as the NYC's "center", or where city hall is. Distance? 155 miles.

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.

nonsensical? You say there isn't any commonly agreed upon center point to any city. So what "point" would be "sensical" to you?
FYI, Baltimore northeastern most corner is 144.2 miles (as the crow flies) from the tip of Staten Island. If you count Providence for nYc, you might as well count Baltimore too, and you might as well count Indy with Chicago.
