Miami is the best US city.
Maybe by a mile.

There is baseball, and occasionally there are other things of note

Bad post
Says Outback Coors Lite guy. You probably think Times Square is cool.
It had been NOLA before...Miami bridged the gap and hasn't looked back.
I do love both places, though.

Went through there going to/from Argentina/Antarctica. I guess if sitting in traffic with a bunch of psychos is your thing....

I'll say something that I think I have pretty much already said here (and gotten some crap for saying so I'll try to say it a slightly different way):
You can have a great time in just about any city worth anything for a long weekend or so. However, that comes down to you roughly as much as it comes down to the city. Did you make good choices? Were you in a good state of mind to explore and have a good time? Were you with good company? I feel like when people don't have a good time or weren't impressed, the answer to at least one of those questions is no. People generally don't want to blame themselves though, so the city sucks.
Now the longer one stays in a place the less what I said matters, but I've traveled enough, including back to some of the same places over and over again to know that what I said above is pertinent.
Also, some places have higher ceilings than others, which to me is something that separates these places from each other. Like I think New Orleans has an amazingly high ceiling, but if people do a basic trip there, then it may kinda suck.

Oh yeah. I've never left a place and said to myself, "That place sucked". I always enjoy where I go and ranking cities above another doesn't mean that I don't like a place I rank lower. I actually enjoyed SF a lot. But when I look back at all the places I've been and the memories of those experiences, a city like SF was toward the bottom of the list. Maybe it was because we went to Napa after staying in SF and that part of the trip dominates my memories.
I really like culture, and feeling like I'm out of my comfort zone when I visit another place. It's why I love to travel internationally so much. In Miami, you have the Latin flavor, plus a very solid Asian food scene. Plus you can do city stuff and then chill at a great tropical beach in the same day. Not many other cities in this continent can offer that. My second favorite city is New Orleans for the same cultural reasons.

Only been to Miami once but the Cuban food was insane. Still, Key West is my preferred Florida town.

I mean I had a blast hanging out in Fairbanks, Alaska once (disclosure....it was the end of June). Something about doing a midnight bar crawl, half-wasted, with the sun still beating down on you is kinda surreal.

I am going to Naples and Puglia region in August/September. Short stopover in Rome before we fly home. Been to Rome before, but Naples and Puglia are new to me.
How are you handling the transportation to Puglia? Are you flying into Naples and taking a bus/train, or are you renting a car?

Train from Rome to Naples, then when we leave Naples I am renting a car for the remainder of the trip.
