New York is every bit as prominent as it was 100 years ago. It's actually in better shape than it was 30 years ago. The only thing that's changed is that other places have grown in prestige but New York is still the place be, domestically and internationally.
Boston has stabilized at worst. And like New York, there are some new kids on the block but certain things, such as its educational prowess, have not changed and can't so easily be wrestled away. Boston has fallen in stature from where it was 200 years ago but that's natural because there's way more cities. The country no longer gravitates wholly north and east.
