This particular angle could pass as Boston, but the 360 degree would not. Try to zoom in more on the lowrises and not necessarily show the full neighborhoods. Boston's streets are much narrower than most of what is posted so use whatever camera tricks you can to show a more claustrophobic effect. Most of your shots should probably only show 1 side of the road at a time so the wider streets are less obvious.

You really want to find little nook and cranny areas that aren't part of the main grid. Boston has some grid but it's most known for its haphazardness. A cozier street/neighborhood like this might work:
