If OP is Indian and wanted to find an Indian partner they would likely prefer Inman Square or Central Square in Cambridge or even North Quincy over Seaport. Seaport doesn't have much of anyon who is not white (89% white)
No doubt, but OP has another thread where he talks about loving Streeterville in Chicago.
Streeterville is like Seaport without quite as much commercial stuff built in the neighborhood. Newer, sterile, etc.
What is the massive development in DC that would be a cousin to Seaport? I can't think of the name.
I find people who LOVE Chicago, LOVE Boston. Both are extremely clean, vibrant, beautiful from a walking standpoint, have diverse, great food options, and have adamant sports fans. Chicago is cheaper, Boston has better weather. Chicgao is more desolute, Boston is 2 hours to Mountains, Beaches, other cities and cliffs.. whatever the coast entails.
You forgot to mention that these cities are complete opposites when it comes to nightlife. Chicago has one of the best in the country, while Boston has a very sleepy and restricted nightlife scene.

Hey.. Massachusetts will put happy hour on the ballot in 2022! Things might change lol. 71% of Bay Staters want the ban to end. Maybe we are moving in the right direction up there?
Maybe Boston’s nightlife scene will go from a 4 to a 6 lol
Isn't Boston more expensive than even NYC these days?
My vote goes to Philadelphia. Inner northern NJ could also be good, I don't know much about that area.
New York has higher highs in the core.. but Boston stays consistently expensive outside the core because there is very little supply, whereas, NYC drops off considerably especially into Westchester County and NJ. Like my rent in a new build in NJ on a transit stop 25 minutes outside Manhattan is literally 2/3 the cost I was paying for a room in a 6 bedroom house built in 1922 in a crappy neighborhood in Boston that wasn't even that desirable when I moved there lol.
You can get a good townhome or condo that doesn't look like a complete gut job or under 300k in the Greater NYC area (cough nj cough), you can't in Boston Area. However, if you want to live on the 40th floor of a building in downtown, Manhattan will be 1.5-3x more expensive than in Downtown Boston.
Since we are only talking about high rises, Boston is still a lot cheaper than Manhattan (Not Brooklyn though).
So my votes would go to Brooklyn, Boston, Jersey City, and even some parts of Queens like LIC.

Boston is definitely more expensive than NYC. I love Boston, lived there for 3 years and have also lived in NYC as well. If I had to choose between the two again I would definitely choose NYC. Mostly due to the social aspect. I found NYC very easy to meet people and make friends. That was not the case in Boston, which can be cold both socially and weather wise. I found it to be very provincial. Beautiful city though and close to some gorgeous charming New England towns.
