Fort Dupont Ice Rink
A very nice non-profit-run public ice rink (the only indoor public ice rink in the city, actually) in Fort Dupont Park. While it's probably not worth the effort to get way out here just for ice skating, if you're in the area, it's fun.
public skating: Fri noon-1:50PM, Sat Sun 3PM-4:20PM (most of the facility's time is used up for private lessons, ice hockey teams, and public school phys-ed programs)Admission: $4-5, skate rentals: $3

Wah Sing Restaurant
This modest Chinese restaurant and (full) bar has been here a good 30 years, which should raise questions about those claims of no sit-down restaurants East of the River! And the food is a good deal better than you might expect—it's notably less greasy than most Chinese restaurants (especially those on this side of town).
Sun-Thu 11AM-11:30PM, Fri noon-12:30AM, Sat 11AM-midnight

RFK Stadium
Opened in 1961 as the home of the Washington Redskins, this stadium has suffered wear and tear and is no longer in use. However, small annual festivals and events are held in its parking lot, including the Shamrockfest Irish music festival every March and the DC World Reggae Festival every August. Plans are in the works to demolish the stadium.

Congressional Cemetery
All sorts of notables from American history found their final resting place here, from composer John Sousa to FBI founder J. Edgar Hoover. The cemetery hosts regular yoga classes in the summer as well as a monthly book club.
