Dr. Shervin Naderi, MD, FACS

Live in: Bethesda, MD
Originally from: Boston, Massachusetts
Profession: Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon
What I like about DC the most: Washington DC offers the perfect balance at every turn of the city. You can readily find the intellectual brain power and elegance of Boston, the entrepreneurial drive and diversity of New York City, and the freedom and fun of Los Angeles. You hardly feel the lack of anything while living in DC. People of DC have substance and character and they are very real. As a Facial Plastic Surgeon, I truly enjoy helping improve the self confidence and lives of my DC patients. Its a pleasure helping people who simply want to be a better version of themselves rather than seeking to look like Brittany Spears’ double! Read more of this post

Profession: Masters Student and freelance writer
Originally from: Whitestone, NY
What I love about DC: I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity in experiencing DC for the past year or so. You get a fabulous concoction of warmth and elegance everytime you walk amongst the crowd. NY is more trendy, but DC has a more classic appeal…which is definitely more to my liking. It will greatly be missed when I depart in December Read more of this post

Profession: Defense Budget Analyst and Graduate Student
What I like about DC the most: The Washington, DC area is such a diverse place… it is truly a melting pot of many cultures. DC is a place where you can feel like you’re living the city lifestyle without the congestion and urban sprawl of the northeast corridor. A high percentage of people here are well-educated, you never know who you are going to meet. The clean metro system is definitely a bonus, and our nation’s great monuments are always a sight to see.

What I love about DC area the most: Without question, the people. I have lived in this amazing city for almost 20 years and am blown away with the general kindness and compassion of our city’s people and am lucky enough to live close by some of my greatest friends. With that, I am also a highly trained eater who loves the local restaurants [I have even designed a few] and using food as a vessel to spend time with my friends and family. Lastly, it is impossible to be bored in DC. There is always a concert, an exhibit or a fun event going on, so get up and get out there people! Read more of this post

What you love about DC: Although I’ve lived all over the world, DC is the only city I’ve returned to and is the place that I now happily call, “home”! What I love about DC….strolling the monuments by moonlight…pushing my physical limits on the Billy Goat Trail…kayaking from the hustle and bustle of the Georgetown Harbor to the quaintness of Turkey Run…getting lost in all of the rich history at the Smithsonian…having an experience with my food at any one of Jose Andres’ amazing restaurants…sipping cocktails on the terrace at the Kennedy Center…attending movies on the Mall…being surrounded by giving people who generously donate to their charities of choice…shopping, eating, and drinking my way through Georgetown…attending fabulous events…making the most incredibly diverse, beautiful, dedicated set of friends that I could ever ask for…living in a place that has its pulse on the universe… Read more of this post
