Alright, so Boston isn’t the #1 city on Forbes’ new “Best Cities for Young Professionals” list, but we’re still up there – personally, I think this is a better city than, say, New York, if only because of a ridiculously vibrant college scene that’s constantly blurping out new blood (and that, my friend, was a truly gross metaphor). Not to mention we have a way, waaaay better baseball team. In any event, like Avis back in the 60’s liked to say about their lack of #1 status: “We try harder”.
So, young, hip, entrepreneurial and looking for a cool place to live? Boston’s your town. Looking for some way to pay rent, eat, and actually get out to enjoy the club/ theatre/ bar/ restaurant/ generally swingin’ time here? Consider ZoomInfo – all the cool kids are doing it…

Just keep in mind that the students who rank cities for attractiveness in the Princeton Review College Guide consistently rank Boston as the least attractive college town in the U.S.
If you want a really fun place to live, with a ridiculously vibrant college scene that’s constantly blurping out new blood, with a waaaaaaay better basketball team than boston (Lakers) and a baseball team with a few more World Series victories under its belt, then L.A.’s your town.

the guy who commented on this did so on my birthday- weird.
as a rebuttal- LA sucks. I’m living in San Diego right now b/c my girlfriend wanted to move out here and I think about how much I miss Boston every day!
Granted I was born and raised in Porter Square so I may be a bit biased, but let’s be real: Boston is the place to be if you’re a young professional- The hospitals, the biotech companies, the defense contractors, the universities- need I go on?
NYC may have us beat in terms of the stock exchange, but besides that, Boston is the place to be. LA isn’t even on the map! Unless you want to be an actor/actress there’s nothing there!
I wish on every first star I see at night that my girlfriend comes back to her senses soon, as I may fly the coop back to the greatest city in the country without her!
