I'm from Egypt, but have lived in Orange County, CA for nearly 3 years. I've been to NYC several times via transit. I've also been once to Fairfax and Arlington, VA; along with Northwestern Washingotn DC...Well...it always happens that when I ask an Egyptian (man or woman) who've went to USA about the best place there, they always answered Washington DC! They said that DC is better than Manhattan, Staten Island, Boston...etc
Well...they seem to agree with my taste too; as I've found myself sharing their taste. Only my father (who stated San Francisco then Boston as America's best) and an ambassador whom I knew (who lived in Cathederal, DC but stated Chicago as the best) disagreed.
My question is: What's your ranking of the DC Metropolitan among America's best places; I mean Northwestern DC, Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, Montgomery and Howard Counties? If these areas aren't the best...then what metropolitan areas are no.1? and why? Please answer clearly.

Dc is one of the nicer cities i've been to. There is plenty to see and do there and if you like the hustle and bustle of the big city, it'd be a good fit for you. I would suggest moving to Crystal City - it is the place where people work but not a whole lot of people live. There is a metro stop in crystal city and you can get where you need to go on there - but there's not a whole lot of people around in the evening or the weekends. :)
