It actually adds some depth to the New York-Boston antipathy.
The Pilgrims were dicks who got kicked out of the Netherlands because they were dicks. So they went to Massachusetts, which was right near by New Netherland. And the New Netherland Dutch didn't like those dicks any more than the Dutch in the old Netherlands. Because just like old Netherlands, New Netherland was a cosmopolitan society built on commerce. And commerce requires tolerance of things like religious diversity.
So when the English conquered New Netherland, the Dutch were very "fuck that." The last thing they wanted was to be under the thumb of those Pilgrim dickheads. Because among other reasons, puritanical dickheadishness is bad for business. So the New Netherland Dutch negotiated a pretty favorable surrender by which the Dutch retain their freedoms, including freedom of religion.
The Massachusetts dickheads didn't support that compromise, and have always had a different culture from New York.
That Pilgrim dickheadishness made another appearance in the late 1760s, with their general freakout over the Quebec Act after the French and Indian War. The Quebec Act allowed for freedom of religion in Quebec, which is to say that the Catholics in Quebec got to stay Catholic. And the dickheads didn't like that. And the role of the Quebec Act in straining relations between Massachusetts/Boston and the Crown is understated in the lead up to the American Revolution.
Boston's opposition to religious toleration, and New York's fear of falling under Boston's Pilgrim-dickhead tyrannical rule is a key reason why New York was pretty fucking Loyalist during the Revolution. And you can trace that mutual antipathy down through American history clear through to today.
And fuck the Red Sox.
