Miami is in the United States, and is an incredibly unique place with its own unique culture. And Spanish is primarily spoken.
Spanish is not primarily spoken in official spheres in Miami and it's pretty likely that if the tap of newcomers is shut off that Spanish's use on the streets will surely decline there.
Also, New Orleans is also a pretty unique place but I still prefer how Montreal and Quebec are unique and distinct from the (North) American mainstream.
I find it to be pretty much an urban paradise in terms of build and amenities.
It's hard to tell how much demographics can affect stuff like this and even simply the overall feel of a city.
Still, one notices for example that Montreal has an awesome sidewalk patio (terrasse) culture that Toronto for all the trouble in the world can't even come close to replicating.
Why is that? Is it because Montreal is a primarily francophone city?

Same goes for cycling and a bunch of other stuff.
Manhattan (particularly the "villages") is extremely similar to Montreal in terms of sidewalk patio (terrasse) culture and cycling.
I think it's more about proper urban planning than anything. Cities in Japan have encouraged cycling as a mode of transportation for ages. North American cities in general are just severely lacking in urban amenities.

I don't find that it is that much, though sure Manhattan is better than Toronto.

I love seeing more and more being promoted, truly is an underrated city, even in winter.
