Philly seems to have a great case for walkability. Narrow streets are a big key.

Portland is another example. You can often go a long way without crossing a single major through-road or freeway, and jaywalk to your heart's content including greater Downtown itself.

Seattle has a lot of overly wide roads in/around Downtown by comparison, though here too you can walk a long way without dealing with freeways depending upon direction.
