Where are the best pedestrian zones in America?
Here's Nicollet Mall in Minneapolis, But theres still a little street for busses and taxis http://www.sitephocus.com/blog/?p=773
The quarter is a fabalous pedestrian zone. One of the things I really like is the almost total lack of motor vehicles in the area. What a joy to just explore on two feet and glance at the detail of the amazing architecture.
Charleston SC is similar on a smaller scale in this regard to me.
Not sure these totally qualify but the many boardwalks in the US (NJ in particular) are some of the best pedestrian areas IMHO). Great people watching, no traffic and the sound and smeel of the ocean, bliss
That imagine in WI conjures images to me of DC and the one in Denver looks very nice (Denver is city I have little experience with)
Cape May NJ has a pretty good pedestrian mall; Washington Street

Yes, it's a hassle driving in the Quarter because of all the people, I was on my way to UNO one day and I was squeezing between people that were spilling into the streets. And walking in the street is very common in the Quarter and on Poydras after events in the 'Dome.

While many cities have very friendly pedestrain areas; few lack the motor traffic unless a festival which are frequent but limited to weekends typically
