Yankee Stadium is a poor football venue, but as a destination city for a bowl game, New York offers a range of activity well beyond what Boston could ever hope to provide, especially in December. Not close.
And don't get mad at me Cuseregular. I would never stand between you and your North End pasta.
I just took my daughter to Boston in July, and they have done so much more on the tourism front than when I used to visit regularly as a college kid in the 70s and early 80s. The whole Freedom Trail / Fanuiel Hall area is awesome. Great restaurants (although not necessarily "New York" restaurants), the MFA is right up there as a world class fine art museum. There is great shopping in the Back Bay, live music and comedy.
December can be cold in Boston. That wind always seemed to make it colder than NYC. But there is great history in Boston and really great seafood (if you avoid the touristy places) to go with the Italian food in the North End.
