[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plenty of others have said it, but I just have to add that it's mind boggling to me that you mention DC in your title, but then mention places that are NOT DC in your post. The answer is right in front of you and her. She needs to move into DC proper.  Yeesh. Plenty of funky shops, old and interesting architecture, interesting things to do.  I've lived in DC proper for 30 years and have never thought things here were "bland." Yes, it comes with some drawbacks, but at least it's not boring. [/quote]

The comparison still stands if she is living in DC, or comparing Boston metro area to DC metro area.

I feel so seen reading this thread. Not New England native but lived there for over 20 years, recently moved here for work (DC proper). It is so ugly and charmless here. I didn’t realize how beautiful New England and especially the Boston are is until I left it.

Old town and Georgetown are cute. I don’t understand the suggestions of glover park or Cleveland park 😑. CP is a tiny strip of retail on CT which is hard to navigate by pedestrians. The shops are meh and CT is busy with lanes of traffic. Glover Park is several streets of identical looking, brick row houses? I guess it’s close to Georgetown ? [/quote]

Have you lived in Central square? Two block strip, industrial buildings heading out towards MIT. Most of those Cambridge neighborhoods are two block strips. If you don’t like the one in Cleveland Park go north on Connecticut. There’s the strip with Comet and the one with the toy store. CP does have metro access though and the Giant complex on Wisconsin, all walkable.[/quote]
