D.C. is unlike any of these cities. None of these cities are designed like D.C. with entertainment districts all over the city. I mean, look at adams morgan and the U street corridor. Look at Dupont circle. D.C. has entertainment districts all over the city.
Boston and Philly are bar cities! They are not on DC's level when it comes to posh clubs and nightlife. They do not have more restaurants DT than DC. Especially Philly. DC is creeping up on Chicago for the most DT office space behind NYC. Everything else is subjective. Plus their DT areas are so tiny. I walked through CC in 20 minutes.
I would say Philly has the most vibrant and big-city feeling core.
But DC has a larger office core.
Boston is nice, but the core is a bit smaller than the other two.
This is a good thread, however. Too often on City Data we have silly threads like "What is more urban, Manhattan or Sioux Falls." In this thread, a reasonable case can be made for any of the three cities.
They do not have more restaurants DT than DC. Especially Philly.
Yeah right. Philly has DC beat backwards, forwards, upside down and everything else when it comes to food. Chic restaurants, authentic local food, whatever. And DC has no equivalent of Reading Terminal or the North End. DC is not a food town.
