One Day in Delhi... Sightseeing Recommendations?

I'm going to be in India toward the end of this month. Last couple times, I didn't have time to do much sightseeing. This time -- my last, I hope -- I'd like to do a little. I've made the day trip to Agra; the Taj is worth the driving once. Not more. Forget the India Gate and the Gandhi cemetary, too. I don't shop, so Connaught Square is off the list.

Besides that, what are two or three things that I can see in Delhi that would make up a good day of sightseeing? I'm looking for low cost, short lines, and maybe near a good restaurant.

Railway Museum?

Red Fort?

Thanks to all.

The place is a dirty third world hell hole where the livestock wander the streets and the people crap in the same river they drink out of. The airport sounds like your best bet.

Shows how much you know....

Hmm in Delhi...Can't really help with that. Now if you wanted sightseeing in the Punjab region I could help after being taken to every hotspot there was by my grandparents when I visited them.

Just outside of Batinda is my usual stomping ground. Been to Amritsar, bought a sword. Yelled at the Pakistanis across the border at the Waga-border. I like Punjab a lot.

If it was me I would go to the Red Fort, but there are also some interesting looking temples old and new.
