Large areas in Boston resemble London and some other english cities. There is one area that looks similar to Dublin as well.
Most similar to english homes from the 1700s: https://www.google.com/maps?q=boston...2,322.9,,0,0.9
Yes, Honolulu. Your eyes are not deceiving you. Here's why:
-Dense
-Compact
-Not much in the way of sprawl
-Pedestrian life
-Busy pedestrian streets
-Beach smack in the middle of the city
-Between the sea and the mountains (more common in Europe than in the US)
-Not many "militant urban types" (cyclist cult sects, hipsters,...)
-No ghettos
-Very safe by American standards
-Less of a rat race mentality than the mainland
It reminds me more of Benidorm or Torremolinos in Spain than to any other American "resort" city.
A good bit of Washington DC looks European. Neighborhoods such as Dupont Circle, Georgetown and Capitol Hill have strong resemblances to both British and French architecture/streetscapes.
The only city with European feel in the us is New York. Its rich, cosmopolitan culture and emphasis on public transportation makes it so different than other American cities.
I disagree. NYC has very much an American look and feel.

But one could say the same about Honolulu being closer to an Asian city. Or even somewhere in Latin America.
People seem to think density and pedestrian-friendly means European--but much of the world is dense and pedestrian friendly. It's just that US cities tend to more auto-centric than much of the world.
In that same area, parts of Schenectady, Troy and Cohoes have similar neighborhoods. Many villages and small cities in the Northeast may have similar neighborhoods as well.
