Boston and NYC are twin cities. Couldn't tell them apart if you tried.

Fuck economics and logistics. NYC offers massive tax breaks for filming here and bends over backwards to give street closings or wherever is needed. There is filming here constantly.
To try and pass off Boston as NYC is wrong. At least Toronto looks a little like here. Boston looks nothing like NYC.
