	The Sky Room is an overpriced restaraunt,

		You can see the Potomac and watch 
		the guards walking on top of the 
		White House while you dine. It's 
		closed during winter and won't 
		open again until around April.

		The phone booths in this part of the 
		National Gallery are very nice.  

		Most are wooden booths and have seats 
		and phone books available.  

		They are quiet when you close the door 
		and allow for private conversations.
