False.
I don't even live in Boston and I like it more than NYC.  On the whole, it's nicer, more friendly, and overall it holds a more important piece to this country that NYC has.  Where do you think all that shit in the colonial period went down?  Revolutionary war?  Boston is damn important, so don't be a bitch about it.
At the same time, NY is pretty dope too - I just dislike it.  I hate the shitty neighborhoods and slums and industrial shit I have to go by to get there.  I hate the smell.  I hate the fact that everyone's always in a hurry.  
Both NY and Boston have their respective benefits - its a matter of opinion, and neither of you guys will sway the other because you're both born and raised in the city you argue for - what could make you turn from that?
My opinion?  Yay Boston.  Cleaner air on the whole is nice.  Yay Pats, if I really cared about football.  Don't care about baseball except I may be the only person who wants the Expos back.
