1. The History
The American cities of Boston and Philadelphia were huge turning points for our history. If it wasn't for the triumphant efforts of those cities, who knows if America would be here today.
2. The Food
Who doesn't like Italian or Asian food (or even seafood)??
3. The People
The people of those cities are the same, but so vastly different from each other. They are both Americans, but the culture difference is crazy (so are the accents!).
4. The Weather
It always seems so much colder in Boston, doesn't it?
5. The Sports Teams.
These sports teams don't have too much of a rivalry, but are both willing to beat NY (unfortunately).
6. The Architecture
I am personally a fan of colonial New England architecture, but Philly's architecture is just as nice and hisotric.
7. The Resilience
Boston and Philly have definitely overcome their fair share of tragedy, and only keep getting stronger from there.
7. Finally, an overall comparison.
Boston and Philadelphia are both very nice cities, and I highly recommend people visit them at least once!
