Guy, either you are referring to Miami circa 1920, or you have lived under a a rock while in Miami. Aside from the latin influence, the most popular immigrant these days in European. You know what a European looks like right? Have you heard of Art basel? DO you even know where Basel is? If not, check out the Art Basel/Miami festival in December. It is the most important in the world since its inception in 2003. You might also want to investigate Miami Spice in the summer if you want some international Good Eats... and yes, there is great Ethiopian food in Miami. Not in 1920, but in 2008.

What diversity?? Where are the Thai, Polish, Ethiopian, Japanese, Russian, Greek or Romanian neighborhoods? Sydney, Brussels, London and New York have diversity. I'm not saying that all latins are the same, but Cubans are a hell of a lot more similar to Peruvians that Polish. Jamaicans are more similar to Hatians that to Ukrainians. Columbians are closer to Mexicans than to Mongolians. All Miami has is Latins, Islanders, Blacks, Jews and Whites. That's hardly diverse. I'm so sick of hearing people call Miami the melting pot of America. Obviously haven't been to NYC. What I love about a diverse city is the different eating opportunities that are available. In Miami, you go looking for a Panang Curry (One of my favorite dishes in the world.) and you gotta pay a premium price for it. (I don't even know where I would go to find some Ethiopian Yebeg Tibs or Sega Wett.) I don't know for sure that there is a Little Bangkok in NYC, but I would be willing to be that there is somewhere around Chinatown. And I would be willing to bet that there are a bunch of little thai places selling excellent curry for cheap prices. And New York does have some latin restaurants as well.
