[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. All good comments. I had unreasonable expectations and I didn’t find the Boston area as charming as many said it would be. In Boston I went to Beacon Hill (looks just like Georgetown) and North End (depressing Baltimore like vibe of an old and once thriving European neighborhood). Gloucester and Rockport in MA looked depressing. Just sad. Weather was great so I guess New England is just not my style.

On a different note - any places in the US that look like Europe? Any part of Europe - it doesn’t matter what part of Europe at this point. [/quote]

You need to go to Cape Ann before Labor Day. After that, things change significantly, especially Rockport.

Gloucester is depressing.  It's an industrial fishing village (that was for a long time the port of choice for most US heroin importers) desperately trying to revitalize.  Not sure why you would think to go there in the fall. I grew up there and love its grittiness, but I wouldn't tell anyone to visit there outside Memorial Day to Labor Day.[/quote]
