That 1875 picture of SF's Union Square is gorgeous. Look at that architecture. God, I wish the 1906 earthquake didn't happen. SF's Union Square indeed does have charm because what you don't see in those pictures are the Cable Cars going by every few minutes.
As it is, I'd give NYC's Union Square the edge because of its farmer's market, plus it blends in with it surroundings better and has more of that parklike feeling.
