I've heard good things about Boston, but have never been.
Coming in late...not paying attention to half the thread...
Are you comparing DC to other cities? Bar-hopping-wise, the bars in DC are better (for an obvious reason) but the people are friendlier down here, no joke.
On the other hand, if you want a story to tell, nothing beats taking the DC metro on a party weekend or night. Shamrockfest kicked absolute ass, and someone crowd-surfed UP the freakin escalator.
I left the Northern VA area because too many of those people work in DC and have shitty attitudes. It's stressful. But if you're just going there to party for a couple days, have the fuck at it - nothing beats the nation's capital for weird.
Also, there have been articles recently about women complaining that the ratio for men to women is really bad - as in there are far too few men. Stick an Englishman in that area and you're bound to strike gold no matter where you poke.
