    NYC is chilly – first check weather.com and you will see what the weather is that week. Definitly bring your coat- its cold in NYC and may rain.

    Bring some nice clothes if you go out to dinner or the theater or to a club…

    Bring sneakers and comfy clothes for the daytime since you will be walking around all day to check out the city.

    Have fun!

    Same! But with my fam. I am bringing jeans and a few sweaters. 1 OR 2 pairs of shorts and a few tees. Socks and underwear. Dont forget pjs. I am bringing a swimsuite for the hotel. Bring alternate shoes for the pool room. For fun i am bringing my phone, a book, and some other stuff like that. Have fun!

    DC in the spring is beautiful, but the weather can be variable (in the summer it’s just hot and humid). Think layers, because mornings and evenings are usually cool, but during the middle of the day it warms up. An umbrella or lightweight raincoat is also a good idea. It’s nearly time for the cherry trees along the tidal basin to bloom–hope you get to see that.

    Just before you leave, check the weather for Washington, DC online–that’ll give you a better idea.

    It probably will not be hot in either location with all the cold below average weather htey are evperiencing. The weather is basically the same in both washingtion and NYC so you will need to carry similar things. A heavy coat, if its a cold night; a sweat shirt, for the day; long pants; short sleeves, for the 60 degree days; long sleeves; just incase; and really good shoes for walking.

    also bring some nice cloths if you are going some where fancy.

    Typically temperatures in washingtion and NYC are in the upper 50s and low 60s at this time of the year during the day, and in the upper 40s during the night, but next week will be in the low to mid 50s during the day and the low to mid 40s at night.

    good luck

    OMG! i just came back like 3 days ago….

    first of all….Washington has major PMSing weather…so be ready for it to be freezing..then 80 degrees, then pouring rain within an hour^^

    be comfortable too, cause youll be walking everywhere and stuff

    just layer up, and have jackets with you but anything else, just go with your normal style^^like things you would wear to school

    im sure you will get to go shopping at places in newyork, we raided a quicksilver and everyone got like 3 new things to wear so there are always new chances to get new clothes

    if your going to a play,..plz wear comfortable shoes..not 3 inch heels like i did which where a death trap…. but if you want to go ahead^^
    just dont overdress…you will feel weird….stay around neutral

    um lets see, dont have a huge jacket..big problemo and pain to carry around…

    bring a water proof jacket, like a fashionable snow jacket…scarves where on everyone so bring those^^…and boooottss…gloves too….sunglasses and hats

    accesorize mostly with those and not too much jewlery…DX
    i lost my earings and fav bracelet in a hotel…

    but bring skinnies, t-shirts…or what ever you want, it all depends on your comfort^^

    have fun like i did!!! its beatiful in dc,

    (i recommend looking around for stands that sell cherry blossom soap-dont ask but its the best smelling soap EVER!!!-in a grey box with a pink picture on the lid^^)

    BIG TIP…ALOT of us died of dehydration..be smart and have water or youll pass out…not even kidding….
