Boston definitely gives off a London vibe, which makes sense considering it was settled and constructed by former Britons. It has that tight, dense Old City European feel. :-)
I've never been to London. From the European cities I have seen, all in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, none of them remind me of any cities in the US. Just my opinion.
The massiveness of the subway system, boroughs, the global, multi-ethnic demographic, the cosmopolitan influence,
and both are centers of banking and finance for their respective continents...well, the UK is an island, but you know what I mean.
New York is the London of North America. London is the New York of Europe.
Now if London had Paris' delicious cuisine (instead of that horrible British food), *and* 24 hour tube service, it would be *perfect*!
Boston, New York, and Philadelphia all strike me as being the most resemblant to London, as well as Washington, D.C. When I think about London, the first cities I tend to think of are Northeastern cities.

When's the last time you've been? I'm in London now for the semester and there are many non-British restaurants even within walking disance. Italian, Indian, Chinese, Greek, French, American, Arabian, Thai,....the list goes on and on. Of course there are still fish and chips stands and traditional British pubs.

lol those cities are nothing like London. You'd have to mention NYC only because it compares in size and global importance.

i think he was trying to say that the northeast probably comes closest to matching up with the urban, ethnic fabric that makes up london and most big european cities. i really don't see very many other "american" regions that match up.
