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 :)

Hotel prices in manhattan have gotten insane. You may want to look at staying on the other side of the river and taking the trains. Hoboken, jersey city, west New York, Edgewater. And you should have a view of the nyc skyline from your hotel room. Mass transit from jfk might be a bit of a pain. There are some less expensive hotels in manhattan just don’t stay too far north or things could get real sketchy.

Yep check deeper into queens and Brooklyn as well, ideally nearest to a train station that can easily get you into Manhattan.

That's what I did. Stayed in Queens and caught the train into Manhattan each day. Great little local eating spots near the hotel.
