OpenStreetMap
I've been tagging mostly residential roads, paths and cycleways, but want to start adding other features. The amenity-tag seems especially tempting.
amenity=pub
amenity=school
amenity=college
amenity=library
amenity=bus_station (and highway=bus_stop)
amenity=taxi
amenity=bank (and with atm=yes)
amenity=cinema (or amenity=theatre)
amenity=fire_station
amenity=grave_yard
amenity=place_of_worship
amenity=police
amenity=post_office (and amenity=post_box)
amenity=recycling
amenity=townhall
Besides those:
sport=golf (and others)
tourism=camp_site (and others)
leisure=stadium (and others)

The more you can collect at one go the better, as it saves going back. parking and bicycle_parking are also useful amenities to have recorded.
You might want to consider landuse as well, not least because these areas make for a much more attractive map. Small areas of grass (landuse=grass), parks (leisure=park), recreation grounds (landuse=recreation_ground), allotments (landuse=allotments), village greens in the UK (landuse=village_green), and then retail, office and industrail estates (landuse=retail, landuse=commercial, landuse=industrial). landuse=residential isusually a more blanket larger area.
Here's a typical example area with lots of detail in both landuse and amenties:

Thanks davidearl! I've got a lot of roads in my town to cover yet, but it still makes sense adding as much as possible in one go.
