Is there a reason people shouldn't prefer Boston's food options?
Boston has amazing seafood options: lobsters, clam chowder, mussels, crabs, etc. are very popular here. Not to mention some great options when it comes to Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, etc.
Why would people think Miami beats Boston in food?
Miami's diversity is a big enough reason. Though I can't comment on the taste of each dish I would assume you have far more exotic and domestic options in Miami then Boston.

Well a great deal of the diversity of Miami is Latin American-based...is there really a big difference between the foods of each country? It should also be noted that while the population isn't anywhere near that of Miami, Boston does have a significant population of people from the West Indies (especially Haitians & Dominicans)...not to mention a good amount of Brazilians. Somehow Mass has the second highest population of Brazilians in the country behind Florida. The two states combine to make up 39% of the Brazilian population in the United States (22% in Fla; 17% in Mass).
For some reason I keep thinking the Latin American countries usually just have different variations of serving rice and beans with a meat (ignorant I know).
For some reason it reminded me of a quote from The Simpsons. Newscasters are talking about the diversity of a crew of a NASA spacecraft:
Newscaster 1: "Now let's look at the crew a little"
Newscaster 2: "They're a colorful bunch! They've been dubbed the 'Three Musketeers' heh heh hehe
Newscaster 1: "And we laugh legitimately. There's a mathematician, a different kind of mathematician, and a statistician."
Miami. Then again, it could have been Miramar vs. Boston and I would take Miramar. I hate Boston. Nothing against Miramar.
Haha, Miramar. I have family in Miramar. They live on the county line between Broward and Dade. Nice neighborhood they live in to. But the city is a ghetto suburb.
NCO, Basically summed it up by saying "El Monte". Miramar is sort of to Miami, what El Monte is to LA. Well, actually, ANY LA suburb will do. Miramar may be Miami's version of Bellflower, Cerritos, Paramount, or whatever LA suburb that borders LA and Orange County.
So what? A skyscraper is a skyscraper. Normal people don't look at a skyline and say "Well that's pretty...but wow it would be so much better if that was an office building instead of a condo". I've never really understood the "it's a condo so it doesn't count" argument.
s.
I think most people understand it. Most cities have a variety of buildings, while Miami is just a sprawling skyline with a bunch of condos and nothing else. Those condos are flashy and all but its kinda boring.

I suppose I mis-spoke.
I understand why people say it...I just don't think it's a valid argument most of the time. Would you say Hong Kong (http://lucienhuisstede.nl/images/hong%20kong.jpg - broken link) or São Paulo aren't impressive or less impressive because many of their high-rises are condo towers? Granted, these cities are much, much larger than Miami, but just as an example.

I suppose I shouldn't be bothered by this...but why do you insist on saying you hate Boston in every Boston thread on this forum? How about answering the criteria listed by the OP and tell us why you feel the way you do.
Hong-kong does have more of a mix of residentional, and office tower looking buildings but i still would not find it as impressive as Chicago or Philadelphia architecture.
Wow...um...ok I guess we just have much different opinions on that one.
Crap. i screwed up on that one lol. I meant Sau Paulo. Hong-kong though is very impressive though. Especially that night skyline.
