[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]

DC since Covid is dead because few people are downtown. But normally DC is beautiful! Rock Creek Park! The monuments and museums! The waterfront, great restaurants, beautiful residential districts…[/quote]

PP is right. Unless you get excited about visiting government buildings and museums, DC is just a tourist hellhole. The city is less than the sum of its parts - lacking in any real urban character or energy.  [/quote]
