I have been to Boston's waterfront and North End a few times. One time the North End was almost empty on a Saturday afternoon. Also when I walked from downtown back to my hostel in the museum of fine arts area the streets were pitch dark.
Really the street was pitch black in the Afternoon? I did not realize Boston is so boring, that the sun doesn't even want to shine there.
then the North End was intresting enough to spend several hours there.
OK, wise guy. I apparently left some plot holes. Here's a more detailed story:
I walked through North End around noon and stayed for 2 hours. After that I went to see Boston Common, the Public Garden, and Copley Square/Trinity Church. Then I headed to MIT to visit some people who asked me to join them for dinner in Chinatown. After dinner, I headed back to my hostel.
Huh??? Philly has just as many good neighborhoods as Boston, if not more. Philly has more "slums" because it's a bigger city!! Philly is closer to New York and DC than Boston is and PA has better looking nature than New England and we also are close to the ocean with 24-hour Atlantic City. Philly has better food, just search for restaurants. And we got more stuff than just "chow-dah" and baked beans, and not to mention the Amish country. You know that on Travel and Leisure Philly is rated higher than Boston.
I love how you comment on Boston's signature dishs when Phillys siguature dish is a steak and cheese sandwich that anyone with a stove can make in 5 minutes.

False haha... it is hard to do it the true Philly way... but don't forget Philly also has soft Pretzels!! haha. Philly does have a great food scene though... it is arguably the best if not one of the best in the Northeast.

At best Philly is number 2, New York is above just about all, but that happens when your 4X bigger than #2. Boston, DC (if DCs the Northeast) and Philly can argue for # 2-4.

Ehh... while NY certainly has quantity, I've always thought food just simply tasted better in Philly. I can actually verify this because I had two friends visit from NYC last week and they commented on how much better the food was in Philly.
I'm not being funny, but most of us don't experience the high end of 4 and 5 star restaurants regularly. Yes, Philly has a top 5 US food scene. But nobody in north America can fade NY on high end food. That's where the rubber meets the road. And quiet frankly, most cities don't have a high wage-earning population that can afford it. Just the reality.
