I have lived in Washington D.C. all of my life and love every minute of it! D.C. can be an expensive city, but it is full of history and good times. Stick to Georgetown if you want to see the creme de la creme of D.C. society. You have the best restaurants, cafes and shopping all along M street. Adam's Morgan is where the young professionals (and interns) go to party and have a good time. You can also stay along Capital Hill near the Senate office buildings for some good local bars and taverns. If you head outside of D.C. such the surrounding neighborhoods in Montgomery County, MD and Old Town, Alexandria, then you find areas full of great restaurants and shopping. The nation's capital also has some pretty awesome museums that include free entrance to all of the Smithsonian's on the National Mall.
I live here! I am a Washingtonian, which means I was born and raised here. Over the years the city has evolved, and it is now quite the little young professional hub type of place. It has become a lot more multi-cultural, and is an exciting place to live. Our Smithsonian museums are free, our zoo is free, and there is much to see and do! Great restaurants of ALL kinds of ethnic cuisine, and a vibrant night life. We have a very clean, and pretty safe subway system. It's of course not perfect, but it truly is a cool place to live!
There is so much to do in DC! You have all aspects needed: historical, diplomatic, artistic, and the list keeps coming! You never stop learning about the city and meeting new places. The city is always clean, safe and friendly. Most stores are eco-friendly and people are very nice. The idea of walking around in the monuments as a normal day workout is surreal!
