[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I realize this is a DC message board, but as a tourist visiting, I’m sad to say DC.  There was just such a dead vibe to the place, such a lack of energy compared with other cities like NY and Boston. Sorry guys.

My children absolutely loved old town Alexandria though, where we stayed - the cobblestones, restaurants, shopping, waterfront.[/quote]

I agree with this. DC is perhaps the most bland city in the country.[/quote]

Native here and agree.  Exciting times in DC is talk of GS pay scales and TSP returns.  City also doesn’t have much character.  All the natives have been priced out for condos and Whole Foods.[/quote]

I think DC had more character 15 years ago when it was still a little gritty but there was less crime.  Now so many parts have gentrified but crime is also up.  It’s like the worst of both worlds.  But it was never a NYC or a Boston or a anything like that.  Agreed.[/quote]

Ha! Less crime 15 years ago? Um, you aren't from here.

Oh and NYC is disgusting now and has been for years and Boston is great to look at but the food sucks. [/quote]

I'm sorry what? The food in Boston is incredible! North End Italian, seafood, etc.[/quote]

Anyone who talks smack about the food in the northeast, has definitely not spent any time in the northeast.  Either that, or they grew up in the midwest and wouldn't know good food if they were offered.  So, ignore. [/quote]
