The Upper East Side in Manhattan votes about 50% Republican. These folks aren't anything like the stereotypical conservatives in "flyover country" though.
There are a couple pretty dense neighborhoods in Brooklyn that went over 90% for McCain, such as Boro Park and Manhattan Beach. I think those are the densest urban areas in the country that went solid Republican.
The densest county to go for McCain is indeed Staten Island. As I recall from a previous poster there might also be a dense neighborhood in Queens that went Republican even if Queens as a whole certainly did not.
Hialeah, Florida (in the Miami metro area) is listed as fairly densely populated and I believe it traditionally leans Republican. Even if it's not as Republican as I think it is it still might have Republican neighborhoods at least. I might go with it, or neighborhoods in it, as my main choice.
Hialeah is a suburban sprawl of mostly smallish houses and lots paved over with concrete to park cars in their front yards behind fences and gates. It's no urban oasis. It's a very car dependent society filled mostly with conservative Cuban immigrants from the 60's and 70's and their less conservative offspring.

I know, but it's in an urban area and is an area of high population density. Maybe the person specified "no cars, walking-oriented" but if so I missed that.
Okay Staten Island or parts of Queens. Some places called "Ozone Park" and "Auburndale" look to be represented by Republicans in the NYC City Council. Or maybe some place in Cincinnati. One of the Republican members of their city council lives in a neighborhood called North Avondale.
South Brooklyn is extremely conservative in parts. Just look at this map of the 2008 election:
New York is actually fairly conservative outside Manhattan and the Bronx. If Republicans controlled the state legislature and governorship, they could easily draw 3 federal congressional districts in NYC that all would have went for McCain in the 08 election. One in Staten Island dipping into Brooklyn, one in South Brooklyn, and one north Queens. South Brooklyn has been one of the fastest trending Republican areas in the country. The district represented by, of all people, Rep Weiner (lol) has went from a D+25 to a D+3 district in the last decade.
That neighborhood just to the left of where it says Ocean Pkwy (anyone know the name?) went for McCain at over 90%. That's more Republican than counties in rural West Texas!

You're wrong. Although Williamsburgs here is more conservative, but that's because the population there is strongly religious. The people there are as Jewish as some country people are Christian. VERY conservative. McCain was Israel's friend, anyone who was as strongly Jewish as them and didn't vote for McCain was be mad.
Jews, as a whole, tend to be more lefties.
Taiwanese tend to be more right winged, so that explains Flushing too.
