Everybody knows that here in America we have "The American Way of Life", and that our culture and traditions are in many ways different to European culture and traditions. But from this list of cities, Wich is the most European style in every sense of the word??

Eh . . . this question gets asked a lot.

Probably Boston. Maybe.

Boston or SF..

the most European city in NA however is Montreal or Quebec.

EleGance · May 27th, 2005, 06:36 AM

OettingerCroat · May 27th, 2005, 07:14 AM

boston definitely for comparing to cities like london or other english places.

but San Francisco for coastal port cities like Rotterdam or Antwerpen.

My French teacher (from France) told me that the inital impression of San Francisco is pretty similar to Marseille. And it is, actually.runaway:

Marseille

San Francisco

Marseille

San Francisco

But then again, some parts of SF are 100% American.
