Ah, it's "Pahk the cah in Hahvad Yahd!" Boston's a bit more nasal than New York. But if you ever meet me in person, you'll be more confused: I'm a native Rhode Islander, which sounds something like a cross between NY and Boston, and I have a mom from Long Island, so I sometimes sound a bit closer to a New Yorker. :)
And then there's pierceheart, who generally sounds like a Bostonian...until the Maryland slips out. :)
My speech is perceived as 'accentless', until or unless I say certain words or I get really tired or I feel really comfortable with someone. Then a few "y'all"s start to slip out and the pronounciation of the word "Cincinnati" becomes distinctly dialectial

Or, even, Bwahstun.
