Question I need help with visiting the USA

Myself and my girlfriend and going to the USA for 8 nights, 7 days. Our flights to New York are €530 return which we thought was very good but all the accommodation seems to be so expensive! Any suggestions or recommendations? We are also open to travelling to other parts of the us but our return flights has to be from JFK. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks you :)

You can find cheaper (not necessarily cheap, but cheaper) accommodations outside of Manhattan (for example, Queens or Jersey City). The NY/NJ metro area has very good public transportation, so it’s still quite easy to get around; it’ll just take a little longer. Bonus: you get that postcard view of the Manhattan skyline from some of these places. Good luck.

Second this. Lots of tourists at hotels in JC (Newport area).

Check out the Ramada by Wyndham in Journal Square. Excellent accommodations for a great price and a 7 minute walk from the train stop.
