[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you find Baltimore run down you may be disappointed in DC. There’s no part that is like the commons in Boston with a pretty park and an easy walk down cobblestone roads to Great restaurants and shopping. The National mall has terrible food around it except Chinatown, which has a lot of CVS locks. Even the wealthy enclaves of DC have homeless people loitering by the metro. In this sense, it’s a grittier, more Brooklyn/Manhattan type of urban.

The closest might be Georgetown, which has the waterfront and some restaurants. But Harbor East in Baltimore by the Four Seasons has a similar vibe, better restaurants, and is closer to institutions like the National Aquarium. Roland Park is a short drive.[/quote]

I’d say that Baltimore is more like Brooklyn than DC, but in a good way. More charm, better restaurants, more hip.

DC manages to be both more pretentious and snooty than Baltimore and less safe. You will see a lot more shady stuff happening in Chevy Chase and Cleveland Park than in comparable places like Roland Park. Same goes for Navy Yard vs Harbor East. [/quote]
