[quote=Anonymous][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]

Unfortunately, I think that’s because the DC metro makes it easy for shady activity to be transported in and out. Roland Park, being only accessible by car, is more cloistered. Regardless, it is less shady.[/quote]
