With Chicago and New York I don’t see many similarities
The biggest commonality is the suburban layout based on rail lines to the center of town, and how his this helped build up suburban town centers that in some cases are now interesting destinations in their own right (oak park, Greenwich, etc)
Philadelphia, Boston, chicago and New York are the only cities in North America that really have this. Montreal notably doesn’t despite its similar age
