Any other city that is comparable to New Orleans?
As in what? Jazz? Restaurants? Nightlife?

Yeah, what are you looking for, because there is NO other city like New Orleans IMO

If you want someplace with good music (blues) and good food (but very different from NOLA food), I'd say Chicago. But it's a totally different atmosphere from NOLA

I've been twice and the short answer is no, but if you tell us what you are looking for maybe we can help.

Re: Any other city that is comparable to New Orleans?
Ok here are my thoughts..
As far as southern charm and wrought iron balcony architecture, plantations: charleston or savannah
As far as nightlife and bars: key west duval st. Is similar to bourbon street minus the Jazz music flowing into the streets
As far as music scene: nashvilles 2nd avenue, but obviously country and not jazz
There really is no other city like New Orleans.

There are tons of great cities to visit - what are you looking for?
Nothing is at all like NOLA though. Its truly one of a kind.

Not looking for anything in patricular and not into nightlife. I think its the combination of food, music, people, and architecture that I found to be very unique and unlike any other place I visited in the US and was wondering if there is any other place like that.

Try Chicago. Take the architectural boat tour.
Great restaurants
Great music
Just a nice, clean, fun city.

I agree about Chicago. I think Chicago's skyline is one of the prettiest skylines in the country. I have visited many times in all seasons but hated visiting in winter. Done all the touristy things..the boat tour, lake front, and the pizza are my favorite things to do when I visit.

I was in Memphis 2 weeks ago. If you want something similar to bourbon street minus the frat boys puking, go there. Great music. But you will not find anything close to NEw Orleans anywhere. But I wouldn't even go on bourbon street if I'm I new Orleans.

Montreal & Quebec are both very unique too.
Other cities we love are Boston & Philly.

I visited NO just once and took a quick walk down on bourbon street just because we wanted to see it but will never go back.

Heard Quebec is beautiful. I posted a question about Montreal and Quebec few months ago but no one responded I did do some research and put those two places on my places to visit next year.

Did you find that Montreal/Old Montreal have an European feel? I know Quebec City has an European feel but heard different things about Montreal.

Old Montreal for sure. I only went for the weekend. I can send you my itinerary if you'd like. Pretty much saw everything in 2 days. The subway system is fantastic.
