LA feels third-world at times, but United Nations overall…reflective of its diverse country.
Miami is lopsided in feeling and really just feels like Latin America.
Sad to say but it's true. What makes LA so unique is that it's the only city in the US that looks like a very worldly, international third world type city. It has its extreme wealth and poor. Areas that look like palaces in the sky and then working class barrios for miles that look like something you'd see in Latin America or Asia.
People might say Detroit or what not but I'm not talking about a gutted city but a functional city like Moscow or Prague. Cities with a good economy that just doesn't benefit the average person and it shows. Not that LA is on Moscows level but that it's as close to third world as the US gets in that aspect.
Definitely Los Angeles. I used to travel to Mexico a lot. I've been to Acapulco, Las Hadas, Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Ixtapa and more. Now when I get the urge for that international getaway, I just go shopping.
New Orleans. Many neighborhoods (not just the French Quarter) have a Caribbean or slightly European feel to them, plus there's a very unique attitude and sense of identity among the locals
