What should I do in NY and Washington DC?

What should I do? Are there anythings I should know before going? My trip will by 2 days in NY, then take the train to DC for 5 days. Any tips or advice for me? Any locals here that can tell me some hidden treasures in NY or restaurants etc. Same for DC. Thanks.
