Outside of the Chicago and Boston area and a few random locales, people realize that "The City" is New York even as far away as the wrong coast. I also suspect that the Boston-area people are lieing as part of the feud they think they have.
I had too much confusion with this as my accent has so many influences (Southern, New England, New York, London, even Canadian) and is mutable. The dialect terms, as opposed to pronounciations, were usually easier.
