Both are great, and you can’t go wrong but my preference is Chicago if for nothing else the architecture. The magnificent mile, Hancock tower, Sears tower, navy pier, lakeshore, Art Institute of Chicago, Blues bars, the list is long.
I’m not a seafood guy so that allure in Boston doesn’t do it for me and love Chicago pizza. Baseball is iconic in both cities like. Boston has more history (freedom trail is a great way to see it) and the north end Italian district has a great vibe. you can go to Plymouth and then to the cape as well.
You really can’t go wrong with either.MEMBER OF THE 2012 AND 2015 RYDER CUP CHAMPS!

Hey Tom,
I've been to both cities many times.
Boston - if you are a seafood lover this is the place to visit! Many many restaurants great seafood (you have try the Union Oyster House) and Italian restaurants - especially in the North End! If you go you have to try the cannolis at Mike's Pastry in the North End. Boston has lots of history! You can walk the freedom trail, visit Faneuil Hall Marketplace.
Chicago - one thing that reminds me of Chicago is their Deep Dish Pizza (Ginos or Lou Malnati's) Yum!!! Chicago is also know for their many great steak houses! You have to try Gibsons! Also many great Brazilian churrascaria (Fogo de Chão Brazilian, Texas de Brazil). They have the Shed Aquarium and Field Museum.
A road trip to Boston would be more interesting - you can cross through Niagara\Buffalo and drive through NY state or you can drive to Montreal and cross and drive through Vermont - very scenic....

You've already heard this, but I'll reiterate that both are great and you can't go wrong.
In addition to the other suggestions, the JFK Library on the south side of Boston is interesting for both the exhibits and the architecture. Italian restaurants in the North End, and Legal Seafood (a chain) are worth seeking out. Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is good.
In Chicago, there are 2 areas with some Frank Lloyd Wright buildings. Taking the El the the "south side of Chicago" to get to the ones at the University was an adventure of sorts... Also, another vote for the boat tour.
Both Wrigley and Fenway are bucket-list places to catch a ball game. Both cities are perfectly safe as long as you don't venture into the wrong areas. Kinda like keeping away from Jane/Finch here, esp at night!
"Confusion" will be my epitaph

We used to go to Chicago for hockey tournaments.
Stayed at either the Eaglewood or Oak Brook Hills 'resorts'. Both have accommodations and golf.
Make sure that you catch a game at Wrigley Field.
