I can see how San Francisco may look European-esque ala Lisbon, Portugal or DC being like a mix between Versailles, Brussels, and even a touch of London, but outside of Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope, and the absence of a classic American street grid in FiDi, hardly anything European-looking about New York City to me.
Lower Manhattan around Wall Street bears some resemblance to London with regards to the street grid, or lack thereof. I believe it is the oldest part of the city.
Otherwise, New York is "European" (what does that really mean?) in that people do not need cars, the neighborhood bar/pub as social center still exists, and there are loads of cosmopolitan pursuits.
DC, Boston, and SF all look somewhat European. At least more than LA.
Last time I checked Canada was part of America, just not part of the United States.
Part of North America.
America without the North or South distinction means USA. Failing to preface America means we could throw Santiago, Buenos Aires, and a host of others into the mix.
Ask any Canuck. He'll tell you. Man, we'll he tell you.
