Just spent Easter in Boston (actually on plane home now) visit North end to eat, walk the freedom trail. There a lot to do and we had a blast. Just depends on how much time and money you have.

Along the same vein as driving through Hudson Valley- visit West Point. Beautiful campus, lots of history. Its abt 50 miles north of NYC on the Hudson River.

It's going to be and two friends going up we're all in college. Not sure how much money we'll have but I know I probably won't have to pay for some of it

Stop in Rochester or Syracuse on I-90 and go to a place called "Dinosaur BBQ"... You will NOT be disappointed.
Also, the American side of the falls pales in comparison to the Canadian side.

Again, how much time in Boston?

I don't think there is a problem checking out DC. It's our nation's capital. Just prepare yourself for the insane traffic on the Capital Beltway.
If you're just in DC for the day/night, I would recommend just walking around and taking in some of the more well-known scenes, whether it's the White House, National Mall, Capitol, Memorials, Smithsonian Institute, etc.
In NYC, there is so much to do and so many places to eat, but here's a short list:
- Walk the Brooklyn Bridge. You get some pretty tremendous views of the city.
- I don't know who "we" is, but if you have a wife that likes to shop, fifth and sixth avenue is good for that.
- Walk part of Central Park. It truly is beautiful, especially in the spring/summer/fall.
- Grab a slice of pizza (or two) from Little Italy Pizza or Previti Pizza and eat in Bryant Park. Obviously there are better joints around the city, but eating in Bryant Park is pretty nice.
- If you go down to Madison Square Park, there is usually some type of street performance going on.
- If you're down by the Williamsburg Bridge, get lunch at Katz's Deli.
Boston is a great city and there's a good bar scene around the stadium. You can also easily walk from Fenway to the Public Garden and Boston Common. A lot of cool shops and bars/restaurants on the way. The Boston Marathon Memorial is on the way, too, near Copley Square.
I've never been to Niagra Falls, but my parents have a summer house in Truro, so I do know quite a bit about the Upper Cape (not so much the lower Cape, though). I'd recommend the Upper Cape as you'll have access to Provincetown, which likely has the most tourists. It's a pretty small town with an ample amount of seafood options and other restaurants. There are a lot of boutique shops on Commercial Street and quite a few great ice cream spots. It's hard to go wrong with any food, but I highly recommend The Squealing Pig. That is a favorite among me and my family.
I really do think you should go to Vermont. Beautiful state. 2/3 of the population lives in Chittenden County and the rest of the state, while beautiful, can get awfully rural. Head up to Burlington, check out the UVM campus (beautiful), Church Street, eat/have drinks on the Lake Champlain waterfront, and take in the Adirondacks across the lake to the west. Don't leave the state without finding yourself some Alchemist Heady Topper or any Hill Farmstead.
ETA: sorry, just saw you're in college. I tried to keep this more family oriented, but I'm in my mid-20s, so I know plenty of bar spots (and drunk food spots) in those cities that I can throw out. Let me know if you want those options.

I'm on this exact trip right now and will let you know by Thursday eve what's good and not. So far it's been great
Don't skip DC!!! It's been the best part. Traffic is so so getting in but the metro is the ticket once there.
We called our state rep and got the underground tour from senate building to capitol building. It was great
