nyc: My husband and I are planning a trip this summer. We are not completely sure where we are going yet, but we are looking which city to visit. We were thinking about NYC, but, in case we want to drive to Washington DC, how many hours does it take to drive from NYC to DC? For those who have driven in between both?|||From midtown Manhattan in New York City to downtown Washington DC takes from four to five hours, depending upon traffic. The actual driving distance is about 230 miles. If you find little or no traffic and make no stops, you might be able to make it in a bit less than four hours. Unfortunately you'll typically find traffic somewhere along the way, making the trip typically take around 4 1/2 hours. If you run into heavy traffic most of the way, the trip can actually take more than five hours.|||Have you considered either the Delaware or New Jersey beaches? Cape Cod is very nice. Anyway..... about 4 hours|||If you drive non stop, it will be about 3.5 hrs.|||Any where between three and a half to four hours, depending on traffic on Interstate 95. Good luck|||3-4 hours|||3-4 hours depends on the traffic..
