for more fine grained data, check walk score
yes there are absolutely places you should NOT go to at night ( just like those in China)
SF is not that bad, Oakland, on the other hand, can be really bad.
NYC - not familiar, definitely there are good and bad areas, think of Law & Order....
Boston is not bad, Dorchester is a ghetto though
LA - you are not safe around downtown, USC etc. But near UCLA, Santa Monica, Westwood etc are superb neighborhoods
Chicago, dono
===
that's pretty much the bigger cities in the US I guess?
many, many smaller cities have both a city feel and are pretty safe.
If you look for 100 close friends to hang out with --- that's gonna be pretty tough, except in SF/NYC/Boston/etc
In most places, bars close at 2am.
But I don't think the "Americanized" life is all about bars and sports, there are also many other types of things to explore
try living social
try groupon
try meetup
try outdoor sports like hiking, camping, jogging, kayaking, skiiing - yes you probably can do ALL of these in China, here it's just that much more available and less crowded
If you are up for it, you can try shooting ranges, paragliding, parasailing, wind surfing, kite surfing, bungie jumping, drive chopper/planes, skydive, fake skydive etc....ok admitted museums are not as great as those in Europe, but still way better than ANY I can find in China. Way better documentation and more authentic stuff, not crowded, not noisy, and there are actually many things to learn.
Try different foods. Chinese food is NOT the only type of food in the world. Nor is it necessarily the best.
Try different music. Go to concerts.
Watch some sports match live. Or watch it at a sports bar.
Play team sports. Play actual games face to face with people.
Try geeky games - there are amazing varieties of them! Hard to find in China.
Travel, go deeper than just tweeting a selfie with your besties. Read those stuff posted at landmarks/popular sites. Most if not all have interesting stories associated with them.
Learn to cook, learn to bake, learn mixology, learn to brew your own beer.
Make something with arduino or raspberry pi. Go print your own 3d logo at a makerbot shop.
Build an app. Build a website.
Build an actual tool.
Build your own furniture. Build your own shack. Build your own house.
Plant a garden. Plant vegetables.
Drive an ATV. Drive a mower. Drive a snow plower. Push a snow thrower.
Paint your room. Stain your deck.
Decorate your room, even if you just rent it for a year.
Read. Join a bookclub.
Watch Art history and then go to museums.
Flip through art books.
Flip through numerous books at the bookstore. Chat with your local librarian.
Walk dogs. Volunteer at the animal shelter.
Volunteer at the soup kitchen.
Do yoga.
Meditate.
Skype/facetime with family and friends.
========
I mean, there are really lots and lots of stuff to do that are in general, quite safe......
