Boston was oddly the first city where I experienced some deep dish racism and classism. Do you know how bad you have to be to beat New York? gently caress I bet half of those lobster-eaters would consider that a point of loving pride.

Nice architecture though and the average person in the city center was way more educated and chill than any other city I've been to. It's also the only city I've been to in the US that feels like it has history living in it from top to bottom. New Orleans and Philly segregate what's left of their history to one tourist corner, and New York is always literally building on top of itself that while there's historical poo poo it's always a mish-mash of eras. Boston had a nice consistency to it. The North End in particular has a great English feel.
