I thought Boston was the most European-like city I ever visited in the US. To be honest, it was the only one that really appealed to me, as a place.

Same here, although I was there only for a (long) week-end, I really liked the city.

I've also stayed several days in SF, but did not quite like it as much as Boston.

In contrast, I've stayed 6 months in DC, which I ... hum ... did not particularly like.

BTW, I agree. I lived in the Boston area (mostly across the river in Cambridge) for over a decade and still miss it somewhat.

OTOH, I do not miss winter in Boston. When they paved over the cowpaths, they didn't leave room for snow removal.
