Even in America's largest city, 'downtown' isn't a terribly attractive area. How many people really want to live in midtown Manhattan? Most of the action is a bit further out, and you'll find a more lively nightlife somewhere like Williamsburg (I imagine Cap Hill in Seattle is similar).

Lower East Side/Chelsea had way more lively nightlife to me than Williamsburg. The burg just gets all of the hipster press and attention but it wasn't all that of a lively hotspot when I was there.

Eh?

> 'downtown' isn't a terribly attractive area.

> midtown

Midtown is not downtown: Hence the name midtown - it's about midway between downtown and uptown.

Most people would consider the villages as the start of downtown.
