Power with Control
Not sure if history and architecture are your bag, but two places that are often overlooked are the Nation Building Museum (I defy anyone who hasn't looked it up first to enter and not be amazed), and the Postal Museum.

Harry's (corner of 11th & E st) has good food, and reasonable prices. It's around the corner from Ford's Theater which is worth a visit. Also nearby is the Navy Memorial/museum and the National Archives.

I don't know whether Harry's is separate, but I know that Harriet's (in the same hotel) gets very lousy reviews on http://www.tripadvisor.com . I prefer (in the museum neighborhood) "Hill Country Barbecue" at 7th and D Streets NW, which has a very lively, festive atmosphere .

Your best source of information about visiting Washington would be http://www.tripadvisor.com . They rank every attraction in the city, in order from most popular, to least popular, based on tens of thousands of detailed reviews from visitors. They do the same with rating every hotel, and every restaurant in town.

Most people here on the Southern Maryland forum, based on their comments, seem to rarely if ever go sightseeing in Washington, and have wildly inaccurate ideas about the city as it is today. I also disagree with the other poster that there is any prostitution, or even a single porn business, on 11th Street (although I don't know which portion of that street he/she means).

Anywhere north of Mass Ave is a hotspot for prostitution along 11th Street. Has been that way for more than ten years. MPD created prostitution free zones in 2006 however the city council eliminated them last month. Those zones caused the prostitution trade to change the way they do business. Prostitutes do less in your face business on the street and more business in clubs and discreet residential "massage" housing. Much of the Latino trade is run by gangs. You may want to contact MPD's Third District if you want to know what's going on.
