UrbanTurf Reader Asks: What is a Good Way to Meet My Neighbors?

UrbanTurf Reader Asks: What is a Good Way to Meet My Neighbors?: Figure 1

In this installment of UrbanTurf Reader Asks, a new DC resident is looking for some suggestions on a tough question: What is the best way to meet her new neighbors?

My husband and I just bought a row house near Shaw, and we're wondering if any UrbanTurf readers out there have any suggestions on the best ways to meet neighbors, short of knocking on doors with baked goods in hand, and getting integrated into the community in more traditional ways. We're happy to say hello to people we encounter, but is there anything else we can do? I realize that this is not a run-of-the-mill question, but would love to hear any suggestions anyone has or tactics that have worked for them. Thanks!
