DC Metro is a free app from Open Places that makes it simple for you to find great places and events. But more than that, it's a bold new experiment that blends editorial vision and the collective creativity and wisdom of thousands of locals and visitors—a place where you collaborate with editors to scout out, photograph, and cover the local places you love best.

What makes Open Places apps different all of the other sites that collect information on places? It’s our editorial vision and the skill level of the writers and photographers. Every featured photo and article has been selected and vetted by an editor.

Download the free app and you'll see what we mean:
• Find editorially vetted places and events, or search for things to do.
• Scout out new places and send them to our editors who will review them and respond personally.
• Submit a photo on any place.
• Follow friends and other contributors with similar interests and tastes.
• Read our creative manifesto to see how serious we are about changing the way that people explore the world and share photos and writing about their favorite places.
