[quote=Anonymous]Grew up in CT and I get it. In New England, each town has a nicely designed "downtown" which DC suburbs just do not seem to have... Live in Fairfax county now where it just feels sprawling and poorly planned. So many roads that are essentially highways with stoplights with random stripmalls rather than (what I would prefer) neighborhood roads and a planned downtown area with local shops and restaurants that are not mostly national chain franchises.

Bethesda and Silver Spring do seem to have this downtown area. Hyattsville has a small couple of blocks that are a little like this by Vigilante coffee.

That being said, Capitol Hill (Eastern market, Stanton or Lincoln Park areas) is my favorite area of DC. Pop into Hill Easy book store and Labyrinth game shop, grab coffee and a snack by Eastern Market and browse the kiosks. Wander through the neighborhood and picnic at Lincoln or Stanton Park. Dinner at Paccis by Lincoln Park. That area is quant and cute and fun with nice DC rowhouse architecture. [/quote]
