New Orleans area has plenty of these sites, they just aren't downtown. There's a very famously filmed road out in St. Bernard Parish like that. Google images St. Bernard Parish tunnel of trees. That's just one of many. Esplanade and a lot of neighborhoods uptown have streets like that.
New Orleans actually lost so much of its tree cover from Hurricane Betsy, that the average summer temperature has gone up by a couple of degrees, owing to the reduction in shaded ground.
Tallahassee, Florida, has 78 miles of designated "canopy roads", which are completely shaded from one curb to the other.
As far as major cities go, Atlanta, DC, Seattle, Portland, Charlotte. Houston I think is underrated in it's lushness. Those Savannah pics look extremely similar to what you could get around Rice University.
I'm laughing at some of the cities being mentioned like NYC and Philly.
Most of Northwest Philly could go toe to toe with anywhere; It's surrounded by parkland. Even parts of Center City have tall old trees covering across the street.
