I agree and I was born there.

I recomend Boston, some of the best Italian food in the US and you can follow the Freedon Trail. Make sure to stop in for a beer at the Green Dragon Traven.

Nothing personal, but I never understood how someone could hate New York and be enamoured with Bean Town. It's basically New York Lite. I live in NY, I love it, but I can certainly agree that it's not for everybody. However, those who are put off by the city's warts are going to find the same unpleasantries in Boston. The crime rate is higher, and the politics are even more horrendous, if that's imagineable.

Give me city or give me country - but nothing in-between please!
