A lovely inner city park with imposing horseback statue of Andrew Jackson, and an excellent view of the White House north side. It's worth (for the lefties among us!) talking to Concepcion or Thomas, who maintain a 24/7 peace vigil opposite the White House and have been there non-stop since 1981.
Between the White House and H Street, by the Hay-Adams Hotel.
