I live in Jersey City, my office is in Midtown Manhattan, but I'm still only going to the office 2-3 days a week. I'll add a weekend or weekday evening leisure trip to the city each week, so make it 3-4x per week.
what do we define as Downtown DC? Is Navy Yard / SW considered downtown? Then if so I head to downtown more often than once a week.
All these areas run together in DC now so I don’t think it really matters for DC. Whether you’re in Union Market, NOMA, Navy Yard, Buzzard Point, The Wharf, Penn Quarter, Mt. Vernon Triangle, Foggy Bottom, Dupont Circle, Golden Triangle, Logan Circle, Northwest One, or H Street/Union Station, everything runs together in 2022. It’s all part of the urban core making one really large continuous area.

I guess I don't really think of all those areas as "downtown" per se. If all these are downtown then i'm in downtown DC often.

Yeah, I don’t really think of any neighborhoods in DC being downtown. DC’s development intensity operates more like Manhattan than any other city in America at street level. Obviously not the height of buildings or vibrancy, but high-rises versus rowhouses. It’s just really big and sprawling. Whether walking, riding a bike, or driving, it’s just really big. Even taking the train is similar when it comes to how long you’re under downtown development intensity. It doesn’t matter what metro station you get off in those areas, they feel pretty much the same. One huge area.

I'd consider any of the built-up urban commercial areas in central D.C. 'downtown' for the purpose of this question even if it's technically outside the area commonly called downtown in D.C.
I feel like if someone in NYC headed to midtown Manhattan, it'd still count for the purpose of this question as well.

Agreed. I think anywhere in Manhattan below 60th St should count.
Probably 5x weekly. My office is downtown (going in about 3x per week) and it takes <10 minutes to get downtown via the subway from where I am, so we're there quite a bit at night and on the weekends.
