Parallels

This post was semi-inspired by another thread. Have any of you ever walked down the street in SF and thought to yourselves, "Hmm, this neighborhood sure reminds me of..."? This tends to happen a lot in this city, at least to me, and I thought I'd post a few of mine here and see what the rest of you thought:

Union Square = Fifth Avenue (NYC)

Castro = Provincetown, Cape Cod, MA, or maybe Chelsea (NYC)

Embarcadero = Sydney Harbour

Noe Valley = West Village (NYC)

Fisherman's Wharf = Baltimore Inner Harbor (or maybe South Street Seaport)

Chinatown = Well, any other Chinatown

Mission District = East Village (NYC)

Anyone have others they want to chime in on? I just thought it would be fun to do a true side-by-side since we compare and contrast so much on these threads anyway...
