What are the suburbs of Boston like compared with those of NYC

Similar? Different? How?

A lot less New Yorkers...which is considered a good thing here.

More Irish, less Jewish and Italian, but otherwise more or less similar in both looks and in reliance on commuter trains (versus driving) to get into the city, e.g., the towns on the train lines tend to be nicer/more expensive.

Boston is further north so it gets a bit more snow.

I've worked in the following communities in Mass: 1) Boston - nice place but yeah winters can be brutal. 2) Cambridge - great place the restaurant scene is awesome, and it's got MIT, Harvard etc. 3) Quincy - suburban hell 4) Braintree - the old Salem nice people though.

A lot classier than NYC.

You haven't been in Quincy lately, Lucifer, have you?

If it's a suburban hell, it's a suburb of Guangzhou, not Boston.
