Does your city have examples of urban meandering curvy streets? Criteria is the street should have an intact street wall, nothing suburban or with unconnected houses or parking lots to break it up. You know. Kinda euro like. I’m sure Boston has a ton (as does NYC). Others?

Some examples from nyc:

NO is such a phenomenal city. If it had a subway system it would be on par (urbanity wise) as a Boston/Philly. Great bones and architecture, and very walkable.

Basically the entire borough of Manhattan below 96th St qualifies.

Boston & NYC (Lower Manhattan) are unrivaled in this aspect

DC probably has the most diagonal cross main artists & roundabouts..

Seattle, Pittsburgh, SF, NoLA & Baltimore also have a substantial amount of urban canyons that snake.

Much more attractive for cities to be on as solid a grid as possible IMO.
To play devils advocate, Paris & London aren’t gridded and I’d argue more people find them more physically attractive than their American counter parts granted architecture plays a part.
