"Best" is pretty subjective, but my "best" is the grounds of the
National Cathedral - no traffic, good view. I arrived at the last minute
a couple of years ago, and it was somewhat crowded, but I could still
get a good view. The top of a building in many parts of the city would
afford a similar view, I suppose, but the Cathedral's on a hill that
gives an excellent vantage point.

Depending on how many people invade the mall for the event, it can take
several hours to get out of downtown.
