Two Parisian friends headed off to the city (5)
I believe the answer is:
miami
'the city' is the definition.
(Miami is an example)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for miami that I've seen before include "state" , "Popular sun-city of Florida" , "place associated with vice?" , "US town" , "Resort city in SE Florida" .)
