boston @ 7 miles outside of downtown: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.2726.../data=!3m1!1e3

NYC@ 7 miles outside of downtown: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6326.../data=!3m1!1e3

philly @ 7 miles outside of downtown: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.0181.../data=!3m1!1e3

DC @ 4 miles outside of downtown: https://www.google.com/maps/@38.9273.../data=!3m1!1e3 (DC gets too suburban at 7 miles out to have much in the way of pre-war urban neighborhoods at that distance)
I'd consider Boston the Northeast, NYC a global city like London, Tokio, Seoul or Mumbai (and thus not inherently uncomparable) and slap anyone in the face that considers DC the Northeastern US.
