Finally got to Beantown after years of romanticizing it and honestly am disappointed. I don’t see why it is in the same breath as New York or Chicago.
It’s quaint. I’ve walked about half the city so far and just kind of think it’s a solid city with no real flair, not as interesting as I expected, and the food is kinda just “meh”.
What am I missing about Boston? Why the hell is it so ridiculously expensive to live in a moderately above average city? I get that it’s a hub for tech, medicine, and education, but that doesn’t really translate into being a fun or interesting place to live.
I always wanted to move here when I finish my medical residency, can someone talk me into it or suggest reasons it’s so highly touted? It’s just an “pretty nice/okay” city.
