First of all Boston isn't overrated and you need to travel some more. I think Seattle,Portland OR and San Francisco take that cake.

Its so overrated and expensive as a city, you wont see me living there. A lot of New England is high, NH, Vermont, Boston. These other places might as well be extentions of Boston, more than Providence even. The cities going north and areas going north for some reason seem very related to Boston. Boston as a city though no, I couldn't stomach the idea of living there or Dedham or anywhere right by it.. unless I was rich and didn't have to worry about a damn thing but that's a TINY % of the people in actuality. I don't even think Boston has standout pizza either next to some cities.. just Reginas or chains like Papa Ginos and Sals.

If you move to New York, please don’t speak with that vernacular. You will most definitely get smacked. It’s quite unappealing and extremely pretentious. I’m not even from Boston and I’m offended. You were obviously picked last in dodgeball one too many times in grade school. Good luck with that nonsense.
