Obviously gonna hit the main attractions but anything that isn't talked about much that y'all could give me some tips on? I'll be in DC today and tomorrow then to NYC till Wednesday. I'm staying in the Georgetown area if that makes a difference. Any hole in the wall places to eat? Bars? I think today were hitting all the monuments and stuff, White House, spy museum and Smithsonian air and space museum. Tomorrow I think all that is planned is Arlington. Thanks guys.

not sure what you want to see/do in NYC, or if you've ever been there before, but you really should see a Broadway show. I recommend Phantom of the Opera or Wicked (tickets for Wicked might be hard to get last minute but you can walk up to the window 1 hr before show time and some seats reserved for family and friends of the cast are freed up then)
The 9/11 museum is worth seeing--lines can be long though.
The Metropolitan Museum is incredible...you could spend several days just in that one museum but it's worth a stroll even if you have limited time. It also gets you out of the Times Square area and into a really pretty part of the city...walk around and enjoy the architecture.
The view from the "Top of the Rock" building is worth the cost.
Where are you staying in NYC?
St. Patrick's Cathedral is worth seeing.

Holocaust museum was best museum I've ever been too.

Skeeter knows what he is talking about. My favorite pizza I've found so far in NYC is Angelos. It's next to the late show theater. Have fun and don't be too cool to be a tourist.
Central Park is a great walk as well.

Yeah I've been to NYC once before. Hit all the places you said. We're staying right near Broadway. I'm not positive of the hotel as my friend booked it. We're at the Capella in DC. We are going to see Chicago I believe. I wanted to see something else but was out voted. Oh well. Anything on Broadway is a great time.
Will suggest the museum. Thanks.
Eta I think we're gonna try for standby tickets for Fallon one night too.

Go get some oysters at Sea Catch and if you are looking for a good steak Bourbon Steak in the Four Seasons is solid. Both are in Georgetown.
Do yourself a favor and hit The Price of Freedom potion of the American History museum.
Hit the Holocaust museum if you have time.

I'm a "she" but thanks for the vote of confidence. I haven't tried Angelo's pizza. I love John's pizza because of the interesting ambience (former church) even though it's a bit touristy and long lines. I'll have to try Angelo's next time.
I agree about a walk through Central Park--it's frigid here right now but midweek is supposed to be milder.
Grand Central Terminal is fun to walk through also!

We will be arriving in NY Sunday night via Amtrak and we heard the temp is supposed to be -24 with the windchill. We just got back from Iceland so luckily we have the necessary clothes but it never got below 20 there 
can't wait

You really don't have time to do everything worthwhile unfortunately. There should be a stickied thread on this topic.
Of course, you'll hit the Smithsonian and everything on the Mall, and that's a fine thing to do. Here are other options if you had a couple of weeks more, in no particular order. But they're all worth a visit.
National Cathedral, Spy Museum, Newseum, Roosevelt Memorial, Udvar-Hazy (near Dulles), Marine Corps Museum (in Quantico), Baltimore Aquarium (in Baltimore, duh, but it's worth the trip), National Zoo. Plus everything else I didn't think of just now.

We hit the Baltimore aquarium last Sunday and it was nice. Saw the marines museum from the highway and I think we're gonna hit that otw back to GA. Thanks for the tips

Tuesday it is supposed to go up to 50! (but snow and ice overnight Monday turning to heavy rain so that sucks!)

The Marine Corps museum is legit and the movie in there hits you right in the feels and makes you proud to be an American. Certainly worth the detour.

Numero 28 is my favorite pizza place in NYC and not touristy at all. Would try getting a reservation at the West Village location if you can.
Upstate in the east village is the best oyster restaurant I've been to. Go for happy hour between 5 and 7(have to be there before 5 to get a seat).
Check out McSorley's, its the oldest bar in NYC. Abe Lincoln drank there.

West Point is an hour north of NYC. They have an awesome military history museum and you can go snow skiing.

Use public transportation in DC.

Cool. We checked out Annapolis last week. We'll have to make an effort to see West Point as well

If you're into the Air and Space stuff and have a car, I definitely recommend the Udvar-Hazy museum out by Dulles airport. It's a hike, but is about 4 times the size of the one downtown. They have a space shuttle, the Enola Gay, and a Concorde, all inside away from the weather. It's the tits
