1. I think spring & fall are better than summer, which can be hot & humid.

2. If you’ve never been there, you should spend at least a week. So if you decide on a trip of less than, say, 10 days, then don’t try to hit a second city within that time. If you take 2 weeks you might take the shuttle to Boston or Washington DC — to me that depends on whether you’ll have a chance to visit those cities in future years.

There’s so much to enjoy — have fun!
