Boston, New York, USA: Historic City and Cultural Center
Boston is located in the U.S. state of New York? Actually, Boston is the capital of Massachusetts, not New York. As one of the oldest cities in the United States, Boston is known for its rich historical heritage, top academic institutions and cultural vitality. It was an important birthplace of the American independence movement, and the Freedom Trail connects 16 historical landmarks, including the site of the Boston Tea Dump.
Boston is home to some of the world's top colleges and universities, including Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and is known as the "Athens of America". The city's economy is dominated by education, healthcare, finance and technology, while retaining its distinctive red-brick architecture and waterfront character. Fenway Park, the Boston Public Garden and the New England Aquarium are popular attractions, while lobster rolls and clam chowder are local favorites not to be missed.
As the transportation hub of the Northeast, Boston Logan International Airport connects to the world with a convenient subway system. The four distinct seasons add to the city's seasonal charm, and it is particularly famous for its fall foliage and winter snowscapes.
