Rapidly redeveloping DC is full of college students and young professionals who want urban lifestyles. They flock to the city’s countless restaurants and events–not just for fun, but to network and to share their ideas and enthusiasm for everything from politics, foreign affairs, government, and international development to urban planning, history, art, and journalism.
