My fiancee says to be sure to recommend the National Building Museum. It's more interesting than it sounds, and it's in one of the few cute buildings here. For ugly buildings, check out the FBI headquarters and the Third Church of Christ, scientist. Both are "excellent examples of the architectural style known as brutalism." Rasika does good trendy Indian food. Coco Sala has lots of chocolatey stuff; she hasn't been herself, but she's heard lots of good things.
