Thanks.
I'd take the bus or train. I thought of the car first coz it'd give me transportation within washington and a place to sleep at night if required! ... no just kidding.
Ya its got to be a whirlwind tour as I have just 5 days in NY and its being my fav city its deserves atleast 4 of them.
I had planned to see Lincoln & Korean Memorials, White House from outside (photo op.), US Capitol, Supreme Court & Arlington Cemetery.
Did I miss anything? - factoring in the time shortage.
