Yeah, lots of troll lame posts for both cities, no real logic to back them up. Lazy thinkers.
I've been to Denver so many times in the last 20 years. Backwards and hick, don't ever really come to mind. I mean, the state just elected a Gay Jewish governor from Boulder!
May I ask why? Most people place Philly, Baltimore and DC ahead. Half will say NYC as well.
Not sure why. Maybe because I've been there enough times (Five) and feel like I've seen it all? My last visit was in July with my niece. It still felt small and sorta boring. Two nights was definitely enough for me.
Also, I've only been to Baltimore as day trips from DC (Twice) and can't really say much about it. So saying Boston is my least favorite BoWash city was a bit premature. I still like NYC, DC and Philly more than Boston, though.

With 1.5 to 2 times the metro population and nearly 3 times the Csa population Boston should certainly feel larger than Denver...I think Boston’s lack of a grid can make it feel smaller because it’s not intuitive where to follow..most people see downtown/beacon hill/back bay/north end and now seaport..a smaller portion will see south end /Fenway/Cambridge’s squares/Charlestown/mfa..and even less Brookline/Jamaica plain/somervilles squares/harbor islands/esplanade/emerald necklace etc etc..the best ethnic restaurants and local breweries are outside the touristy areas and more in neighboring areas...day/weekend trips from Boston are also plentiful including nearby islands, beach towns, and mountains to the north...you may have explored adequately but many tourists don’t
