1 Answer

Answer :

You’re moving to my area! :D Honestly, DC is a city to wander in I think. You can find all sorts of restaurants, shopping, galleries, museums, landmarks and stuff all over. I love the city, what exactly are you looking for? It’s a really eclectic city, with pretty much every nationality represented in the restaurants and shopping. There are festivals and parades on the regular. When are you moving?
