I follow you, but doesn't the same statement work with just about any
other suburb of DC as well? I simply do not enjoy eating in one town
and then moving onto the next entertainment in another town. Around
here, you end up spending way too much gas (unless, of course, both
activities are Metro-accessible).

When I go to Alexandria, it's usually because some friends from the
Naval Research Lab want to eat out and Alexandria is one of the
nearest places with several restaurants. When I lived there, I spent a
lot of time there; I loved the waterfront parks.
