[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dood, DC is nothing like NYC. It's not supposed to be and it's not trying to be. Hopefully you find something you like here.

Oh, and there are plenty of hipsters here. Maybe that will help.[/quote]

This.  I'm a New Yorker born and bred (though mostly Manhattan, not Brooklyn) and of course I miss it a ton.  There's nothing like it in the world.  DC is also a largeish city in the northeast, and that's about where the similarities end.  The people, the vibe, the food, the neighborhoods, the amenities-- all different.  But that doesn't mean DC is awful.  I have grown to be very happy hear.  Still, if I could move back to NY (practically speaking), I would.  But I'm here now, and so are you.  Try to seek out people and things you like here.  If you try to duplicate a completely different city, or only socialize with people who you think "get" a different city, you will fail and surround yourself with other unhappy people.  I recommend embracing DC or making plans to move back to NY.[/quote]

21:41 here.  Only thing I disagree with about the PP was the hipster thing.  DC is decidedly NOT a hipster town.  That doesn't bother me, but if it's a dealbreaker to you, OP, move on.[/quote]
