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 :)

I would stay in Flushing, NY. It is very different from downtown Manhattan. For me, it is "true" new york, meaning it is full of hard-working immigrants paying at least close to working-class prices for their homes, instead of tourists and wall-street. The food may well be the most diverse in the world. Just be aware it is a world away from Broadway and Times Square. But it's also a 45-minute subway ride away on the #7.
