While we love our neighbors at Secret NYC, Boston offers more history, more charm, easy access to all of New England, better sports, and better seafood! How can it not be one of America’s best cities?
A recent ranking of the “top 10 best big cities in America” according to Condé Nast Traveler’s Reader’s Choice Awards ranks Boston as the seventh best large city in America. New York City ranked 8 on the list, falling behind by one. Condé Nast Traveler writes:
For one of the oldest cities in the US, Boston sure has aged with style. To get a quick refresher on our nation’s history, walk the Freedom Trail, a 2.5-mile route along a string of historic sites that takes you through the country’s founding. Other activities worth adding to your itinerary include slurping up oysters at Neptune, visiting the salon-style, private-art collection at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and catching a ball game at legendary Fenway Park. Just be sure to learn the words to “Sweet Caroline” before you go.
Condé Nast Traveler conducted a survey with 575,048 readers casting their votes in the 37th annual Reader’s Choice Awards. This year, these are America’s top large cities:
- Chicago, IL
- San Diego, CA
- Milwaukee, WI
- New Orleans, LA
- Washington, D.C.
- San Francisco, CA
- Boston, MA
- New York City, NY
- Columbus, OH
- Miami, FL
In a city that blends rich history with vibrant culture, it’s no surprise that Boston continues to shine as a top destination, proving once again that it deserves its place among America’s best cities.
