Very true, but I never lived in either of those cities, lol
And a lot of the older architecture in Philadelphia is rather elitist compared to the older architecture and both New York City and Boston, which is much more civil and populist. probably because of how much bigger both New York City and Boston were at the time compared to Philadelphia. Unless you want to compare the sewer systems, all of which were pretty awesome. Consider considering the periods.
