[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lived in both suburbs as a kid (also lived in DC proper):

The NY suburbs feel more removed from the city, compared to DC suburbs.   It's more of a project or special event to go into the city.  The vibe of the city is totally contained and does NOT leach out into the burbs. And each suburb is different: CT different than NJ, which is different than LI, etc.

In DC, in my experience, depending on how far you are (I was in Bethesda), it's easier to get in & out of the city (subway, bus, taxi, etc).  People in the city are more similar to people who live outside of it.

The NY suburbs are more charming (cute old towns).  But I think the people who live in the DC suburbs are less child/school focused, more interesting, more diverse, less catty, less materialist.

I'm not talking about the cities at all...just the suburbs. [/quote]

I used to work with many people who lived in the NY suburbs.  They rarely came into the city unless for a special event.  It seemed they would come for something lame once in a while, like lighting of the tree.  dc is way way more accessible and easy to get to from suburbs like Bethesda and in Virginia.  First off there's parking that isn't 30 dollars an hour.  dc is way less stressful.  [/quote]
