I dont live in DC but i spend 5 or 6 days of the week in DC and i've got lots of friends who live in the city. There's actually plenty to do at night in Georgetown or Adams Morgan. There's great restraunts and stuff like that. With the exception of constanly worrying about getting my car jacked, or the fear some dumbass is gonna leave paint on my rear bumper while trying to parallel park, its not a bad place.
