Man-Aung Sushi
As you may have inferred from the name, the sushi shop on the ground floor of Lafayette Square's Rand Building is indeed Burmese-owned. But make no mistake: Man-Aung is no Sun Express clone, with black rice and other elements of Southeast Asian cuisine creeping into the mix, but rather boasts a modest selection hewing to the usual Japanese-American standards. Service is grab-and-go out of a refrigerator case, but the food is remarkably tasty and fresh considering. If sushi's not your thing, try a bowl of piping-hot miso soup or (interestingly enough) surprisingly authentic Hungarian goulash.

Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument
Designed by architect George Kellar of Hartford, Connecticut with bronze reliefs by Caspar Buberl, the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument is the centerpiece of Lafayette Square, a granite shaft that stands 85 feet (25 m) tall. Talk of a Civil War memorial monument (originally intended to be at Soldier's Place in the Delaware District) had begun as early as 1866, but it was not until 1884 when the Ladies' Union Monument Association finally effected its construction. Soon after its dedication it was noted that, due to the uneven settlement of its foundation, the monument was tilted and was structurally unsound; it was dismantled, rebuilt, and rededicated five years later. The Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument was thoroughly restored in 1982.
