You'll likely only find a rental with a stick at places that rent high-end exotics. But for the rental fee on one of those you could buy several of the type of car that TD mentioned.

Two things to watch out for after learning to drive in the US in the first place and learning to drive a stick in the US are which side of the road to drive on in which European countries, and which side of the car the driver sits on. The former should be relatively easy to get used to, but trying to drive a stick with the left hand (in a right hand drive car) after learning to drive it with the right hand (in a left hand drive car) might take a while to get used to.
