So, okay, I am spending this weekend in Boston and then heading off to Washington DC for a few days, and I pretty much have no idea what I want to do while I am in either place!

Anyone got any suggestions for me? I like things like museums and pretty areas to wander around and cultural landmarks and such, also things that are accessible by public transport and do not require really huge amounts of walking.

Washington DC:

See:
The Mall, with all the Smithsonians is a must see. I also always really enjoy walking around Georgetown, which is sort of pretty and quaint looking. The Lincoln memorial is pretty gorgeous. Actually this is a pretty good list: http://washington.org/visiting/browse-dc/attractions/100-free-things-to-do and I used to have a grant to study at the Folger Shakespeare Library and found it really cool: http://www.folger.edu/whatson.cfm

Eat:
I like Afterwords a lot... not because of the food so much as that it is a restaurant in a bookstore. http://www.kramers.com/index.cfm
Ethiopian food is amazing in DC (pretty much anyplace)
and this is one of the best falafel places I know: http://www.falafelshop.com/
And I love this Thai restaurant. http://www.ricerestaurant.com/
