"far cry" is used to denote difference in degree, or between ideas or qualities. One would never use the idiom in reference to actual distance.. "It is a far cry from astubbed toe to an amputation" or even "It is a far cry from Brooklyn to Broadway". The two geographic areas are quite close, of course, but success in Brooklyn won't guarantee success on Broadway.
