Miami Beach could fit in at the Jersey Shore. The Art Deco and Jewish residents would probably fit in with the relatively older architecture of some of the Jersey Shore towns, and the clientele in some of the towns as well.
Halifax could fit in with New England, since that built environment in New England seems to just go right up the coast. Nova Scotia's natural areas look a lot like Maine, which is not a surprise.
Some of the towns around Albuquerque and Santa Fe in New Mexico could fit in in central Pennsylvania. There's a little bit of a shabby look in both places from being bypassed by modern commerce that make them feel a little similar.
George Town, Cayman Islands, would fit in in south Florida, outside of Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach. Much of it looks like those nondescript towns like Miami Gardens.
San Juan could fit in with beach towns in south Florida like Pompano Beach and Deerfield Beach. Much of San Juan along the coast is regular architecture.
Niagara-on-the-Lake would fit in the Mid-Atlantic area, on the water somewhere. The wooden houses and general architecture matches places like Annapolis and New Castle.
Portland and Montreal could switch places. Gray skies, long riverfront CBDs, mountainous backdrop. You could swap Portland for Nashville or Pittsburgh too.

I'm thinking about where NYC would blend right in. Maybe somewhere in the Low Countries in Europe, right next to Amsterdam?
I don't think NYC blends in well with Europe, tbh.
ETA: I could see parts of NYC in other regions. I think Queens would blend in well as a Great Lakes city. Lower Manhattan and northwest Brooklyn could blend in around Amsterdam.

Portland and Montreal, yeah, I can see that. And I get Portland and Pittsburgh… rivers and hills thing. Not sure about Nashville though.
