By including Union City in the mix (and not somewhere like Weehawken), I'm not too sure you fully know what you're talking about.
I do see where you're getting at though. How about this?

The population of the two are almost neck and neck.
The consensus is that the NYC metro area trumps DC metro area, though the latter is still quite good. There are only so many ways to ask the same question.
So far in other threads, NoVA lost the NoNJ vs NoVA thread.
MD and VA lost the CT/NJ vs MD/VA thread as well.
Its no point trying to compare anything the DMV to anything in tri state AT ALL.
You can compare the DC metro area to any other MSA in the country and we'd probably win.

i agree with this.
i'd rather be in ny but the dmv area is really, really nice IMO.
The New Jersey Gold Coast wins , In Safest , Best Skyline , and Most Diverse ....but they tie on Transportation.....
You haven't checked out those 3 DC area cities. I've been there, and they trump over those gold coast cities easily(Except maybe diversity, I may give the edge to the Gold Coast). Crystal City's skyline is underrated.
Battle of the NYC edge cities vs. the D.C. edge cities. You all know the drill...who has the best in each category?
Don't be lazy, folks. "Each category" isn't a category, and it's not specific. Please read the room sticky at the top of the forum for how to compose a city-vs-city thread that won't be closed. Be specific.
Thank you.
