In the USA or Lincolnshire , UK ?
The US, didn’t know there was one in the UK
So many towns in the US take their names from a British town. But Boston and Boston could not be more different. We’ve often talked about going to Boston, largely driven by our love of Cheers. I’ve been to New York but never want to fly long haul again. In fact I never want to fly again. So Mrs HH may well have to go by herself.

Where do you imagine the USA one took its name from ( clue is settlers)
Boston stump is famous.
London to NY long haul, you blokes are kidding try Sydney to NY or Sydney to London.
Unfortunately for us there is no other way.

As with many places Pete, we have the originals.
The US places are just poor copies!
To put the record straight, I had a great time in Boston, USA, & was joking in my earlier post.
PS - Boston UK is mostly famous for it’s ‘stump’. Google it if you wish to know more.

I live in a country town called Gloucester and every time I search something I have to remember to type in NSW as well.

No you blokes trying to recreate places just like home, thankfully some regions (not towns) and landmarks are adopting indigenous names.

Not a great surprise to me.
My visit was in 2007, with my late wife.
The ‘big dig’ had only recently been completed & most of the cosmetic work hadn’t been completed so some of the central area was looking less than pristine. Other parts looked a lot like Victorian Manchester/Birmingham but, fortunately, the majority looked like other US cities (assuming you like skyscrapers), very clean & impressive.
Hope that is still the case & the impression that your wife & daughter bring back with them.
Unfortunately our and our european neighbours have forbearers that have a lot to answer for.
The past is the past, you can’t change what’s been said only what you’re saying.

Straying into the political, but I agree.
Never apologise for someone else’s mistakes or aggressions. Just move forward in a different way.
