Ok, so what I'm getting from the extended responses to this thread is that I need to get the hell out of Boston, because I've just been doing it wrong for all of my late 20s and into my 30s.
If you don't feel you're getting those things in Boston, I would consider it. I'm in Denver, which is somewhat similar to Boston in size, and Denver definitely is not a 24/7 city like NYC. But I'm OK with that. I grew up on the east coast and I do prefer the culture of the western states more.
I am in my mid 30's and moved here about five years ago and I wish I had done it in my 20s. I hope you find a place you can enjoy!
