NYC.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has everything-not just paintings and sculptures, but also knights and armor, mummies, an Egyptian temple. It's well worth the trip.
Take a ride on the Staten Island Ferry. It's cheap and fun
Have a dim sum brunch on Sunday morning in Chinatown.
Make a reservation for the pretheater dinner at The Four Seasons, one of the most famous restaurants in the world. If you are seated by 6:15, the entire dinner from appetizer to dessert is only $65. Ask to be seated in the pool room. The trees in the pool room are decorated according to the season. Jackets and ties are required for men. No jeans or corduroy pants. You may see the occasional celebrity there. The phone number is 212-754-9494.
Get a discount ticket for the theater. You can find them on line searching for discount broadway tickets or at the half price ticket booth. You definitely want to see a Broadway play.
Go shopping at Century 21 for discount high style. It's across the street from Ground Zero.
If you want to eat very cheap, but it's way out in Brighton Beach near JFK Airport, try Cafe Glechik 3159 Coney Island Avenue (Brighton Beach Avenue), Brighton Beach, Brooklyn; (718) 616-0494.BEST DISHES Pickles; all vareniki and pelmeni; green borscht; stuffed cabbage; stew Glechik.
PRICE RANGE Appetizers, soups and dumplings, $1 to $9.50 (bags of frozen dumplings to go are $4.50 to $6.50); main courses, $7.50 to $20; side orders, $3. The restaurant is B.Y.O.B. CREDIT CARDS Cash only.
This is wonderful food and incredibly cheap.
There are also Russian night clubs in Brighton Beach that are also an experience, but it's been years since I went to one.

NYC has way better shopping. DC is ok for museums and stuff but otherwise it's kind of boring. There are only a few cool neighborhoods and a lot of dangerous areas.
Are you staying at a hotel? Be aware that it'll be hard to find a hotel for under $200/night in Manhattan...

NYC is a city. Washington is a monument. Go to NYC and you'll instantly understand why it is more than the sum of its multitude of parts, why it belongs, not to the USA but the World.

If you want shopping I'd go to NY. I don't remember much shopping in DC. At least not enough to last 2 weeks.
