As far as seafood goes: you're kidding, right? I like a good lobster or NE clam chowder as much as the next BC alum, but overall, the Big Easy easily beats Beantown in the seafood department.
Easily. Really, no contest.
All of which would be relevant if the OP even hinted that New Orleans was an option. But as long as we're ignoring her request, I'd suggest Tokyo for seafood and Spain for history. Neither of which will be of any use to the original poster.
