Your favorite synagogues for Shabbat services

With the world as it is, and synagogues around the world live-streaming, I thought I'd explore some interesting bits of the Jewish world that I wouldn't normally have access to...
What are your favorite places to go to shul, on Friday nights or Saturday mornings?
I'll start the thread with high recommendations my own Conservative synagogue and rabbi here in Baltimore.

(BTW love this question. Such a great idea!)

Although my family is a mix of Reform and Conservative, I personally belong to a Modern Orthodox shul, so thank you for this, since my shul obviously doesn't livestream on Shabbat.
I spend my Friday nights virtually at Central Synagogue because it's conveniently on the Jewish channel on TV. And I love Rabbi Buchdahl.

If you are interested in quick (15-20 min) Conservative daily minyan, check out Congregation Beth David in California. Scroll down for details on minyan Sunday mornings and Monday-Thursday at 7pm pacific time. There are usually 12-20 people and the leader will say "El Malei Rachamim" for you if you are observing a yartzeit. Maybe not quite kosher but the best we can do under the shelter in place rules.

Emanuel in Newton, Mass has a very consistent series of live streaming. Conservative, with a 'minyan' twice a day.

I belonged to a lovely progressive synagogue in the Chicago suburbs that has been live-streaming their services for years - Congregation Hakafa. They are very social-justice centered and Rabbi Bruce remains among my favorite rabbi.
My sister is also a rabbi at Temple Micah in D.C. and she is, of course, wonderful, as are the rest of their clergy. Sixth and I is also doing virtual Shabbos.

Sha'ar Zahav, an LGBT centered community in SF.
Chochmat HaLev: "We are an inclusive, multigenerational, and family-oriented synagogue offering joyful ceremony, music that lifts our spirits and touches our souls, passionate learning, and contemplative practice", Berkeley. Very heavy on the singing and music in the in person services anyway.
Kehilla in Oakland. A social justice focused community.
