Sightseeing
This is an absolutely unique building in the area. Presidential inaugurations have been held here the last few times. It's free to get in and it is something indeed to see from the floor, but there are tours for about $10 each. Little kids are usually blown away by this place.

It's really a gigantic tapas place, but the bar is some of the best people watching you will get in DC, along with the fantastic tapas. If you want to sit at the bar, you should really go early, like 5:00 or 5:30, so you can find a place by 6:00.

If you can put politics aside (and let's face it, a lot of people can't), the Old Post Office is the second tallest structure in Washington, DC and it has been restored meticulously. The bar lounge area is the size of a football field. It is really quite remarkable. But some people find it tough going in. NOTE: you can take tours of the clock tower for some of the most incredible views of the downtown DC.

If you are into your history, this bar has entertained, so we are told, every president since Grant. And every president gets a cocktail named after him. It's a round bar and pretty neat.

Have you ever wanted to go to a Speakeasy? This is pretty much what it would've been like. Once you figure out how to get in (it's subterranean, look for the white globe lamp outside with Denson on it), you will find something that screams Great Gatsby. One of many underground bars in the area, but the best. Dress nicely.
