Agree with that and really glad we have all those in the region. But there are loads of lists that rank the whole area, including suburbs, and we can look at those when we want to venture out of the District (and have a car, want to pay lots of ride fare or spend lots of time on metro and/or bus).

Looks like OP is doing a true District-best rather than a best-of-within-25-miles and want to say I appreciate the approach. Excited to know more about places I can easily walk or bike to in the District!
