I am moving to Washington DC next year, where is the coolest place I can live?
ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: Like beauty, coolness is in the eyes of the beholder. Are you going to be a congressional intern, work for the World Bank, or work for a K-Street law firm? Georgetown is a little staid. The Dupont Circle or Woodley Park areas along Connecticut Ave. are, I suppose, quite hip, but maybe too much so. There’s a lot of nightlife, restaurants, and shopping, that’s for sure. You can buy books at the same bookstores where Monica L. bought gifts for Bill. A more edgy, and less expensive, area might be on the east side of Capitol Hill, towards the Eastern Market area. Not yet as gentrified (or as lively). At least as a residential location, I’ve heard positive things about Takoma Park, MD, just over the border from the District. Good luck!
