I limited it to DC only, so that takes out the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor and Alexandria. Which orange/blue stations were you thinking of? @Tim If this was a top 10 list, I’d definitely include both Eastern Market and Foggy Bottom.

Believe it or not, Smithsonian barely cracks the top 20, at number 18. @Brendan Union Station is the busiest, followed by Metro Center, Farragut North, Dupont, and Farragut West.

I lived there a few years back and it was just dead after 10 PM. The other non-NW places that I considered were Navy Yard (but only during baseball game days do you get the mix of residents, office workers, and baseball fans) and Union Station (but there's not a great mix of uses there, and while you do get some people hanging around, it's mostly people trying to get somewhere). I definitely didn't mean for it to be an entirely-NW list, though. It just happens that a lot of the mixed use development has happened in that quadrant.
