You cannot help comparing though because they are two very different cities. NYC is a one of a kind city, full of lives and characters and humanity and rats and trash bags and dirty air and bumpy smelly roads and arts and styles and lights and concrete.

I visited NYC a few days ago and I still found the city so damn exciting even though I had been there so many times before. Then I came back to DC and I realized how nice DC is in every way, and that most of the time, all I really want is ‘nice’ 🥹
