I'm a little bit surprised Philadlephia hasnt done better on this poll. It certainly has more European history and architecture than Seattle although Seattles relatively small size and cleanliness ( compared to Philadlephia) gives it a more European flavor I suppose.
I agree with one post I saw on here that St. Augustine (FL) has a very European feel to it. St. Aug was settled by the Spanish in the 16th Century, and Henry Flagler ("Father of Miami") built many buildings and shops with an obvious Spanish influence, architecturally, in the 1800s, it may be a small town, but the central part is very dense and Mediterranean-like.
Also, for the record, many Caribbean places (Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the like) were also settled by the Spanish as well, around the same time.
San Francisco, Boston, New Orleans and Philadelphia in terms of central city architecture, compacting, and just overall feel. Also Washington by planning design, and Seattle and Portland in terms of the "green initiative attitude" culture prevalent especially among the young in the western world (plus, Seattle is a pretty compact city relative to its population.)
Definitely Washington, D.C. The architecture greatly resembles that of Europe, especially with so many domed buildings resembling buildings in Rome and Paris. Also the notable lack of skyscrapers inside the city itself.

??? I'm not sure what the "green initiative attitude" is, but I'll tell ya, I saw very little green in the European cities. In the central areas, virtually none.
