[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gallery Place China Town is vaguely like Times Square (contemporary disneyfied TS that is)

Dupont/Logan/Shaw  has a feeling comparable in some ways to the quieter gentrified parts of North Brooklyn.

Takoma Park might pass for a quieter version of a LI or NJ railroad suburb.  But hipper (as Logan is less hip than Boerum Hill, etc)

Parts of S arlington look a bit like parts of queens, but are still pretty different.

What DC really needs, that NEVER gets mentioned in the NYC is better rants, is a quiet neighborhood of Tudor style townhouse and apt building close to a metro station - something like Forest Hills.  developers, here's your cue. [/quote]

To me Chinatown/Penn Quarter (where I live) feels nothing like Times Square. Yes, there are giant screens at the Verizon Center, lots of chain restaurants and many tourists, but you would have to add comedy club promoters and street performers in furry costumes who demand to take a photo with you to make it vaguely feel like Times Square.
Though I think that some parts of DC (Logan Circle, Shaw) feel similar to Gowanus and Greenpoint.[/quote]

Gowanus was always such a dump (even the name is dumpy).  I think Logan Circle denizens should be insulted by the analogy.
