Yes, NYC is very much old world and a-typical Americana. San Francisco is ipretty close too. Singapore is what made me understand that's the kind of city living I wanted and NYC is the only place I was able to find anything remotely close. If there were hawker stalls in our apt building it would be great!
What I have been finding as we travel about that there are a number of countries where the living is very much similar to the urban sprawl drive and crawl from place to place shopping districts and big box stores just in foreign languages and foreign products.
