"Bean town". Although I personally like to call it, "Bawston." Also "The Hub" and "The walking city."
While some may believe the city got this label because it flourished with beans, we can’t give all the credit to the magical fruit. It was actually an overabundance of molasses made from sugar traded from the West Indies that contributed to the early colonial obsession with Boston Baked Beans. The dish is no longer popular in the area and restaurants rarely serve it as a specialty.
n a novel he wrote in 1858, Cambridge-born author and philosopher Oliver Wendell Holmes described the Massachusetts State House as the “Hub of the Solar System.” As society in Boston developed, the nickname developed into an even greater brand – “The Hub of the Universe.” The term of reference, shortened to “The Hub,” is seldom used today in daily conversation.
A combination of small, safe neighborhoods and an effective public transportation system has helped deem Boston the friendliest walker city in the country. No doubt is walking the easiest and cheapest way to get around, but being able to avoid endless traffic jams and having to not search parking spots often makes walking the quickest mode of moving.

The closest city that we have with a nickname is Madison, WI.
The locals call it "Little Moscow" and "MadTown"
Janesville, WI is also known as City of Parks but that is an "official" moniker.

Toronto
"Hog Town" used to have a lot of pig slaughtering done here.
"The Big Smoke" ??? If I had to guess, because of smog & pollution from the factories that were located here. (just a guess tho)
