I worked in Boston several times and enjoyed it. One company had its
offices in a building off Memorial Drive next to the Charles. My office
had a great view of the river. When they moved to the old Schrafft candy
factory in Charleston it wasn't anywhere near as scenic.

I liked walking around the city. I would rent a room and drive down from
New Hampshire Sunday evenings, park the car, and then go back to Dover
Friday afternoon unless there was some event over the weekend. I'm not
sure if it was a weekend but one 4th of July they had fireworks in the
harbor with Handel's Water Music simulcast on one of the FM stations.

Like NYC it was fun but I wouldn't want to live there forever. In a way
there was too much going on and it could be a time sink.

It was many years ago since I last visited, but I much preferred Boston over New York. But I also prefer Chicago over Boston, so I think the list of preference runs Chicago, Boston, New York. If all the druggies were removed, and disregarding the democrats, I think San Francisco would be among the top three as well.
