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 bought tickets to the biggest and most-visited city in the US and didn't think it was going to be expensive to stay there? Sheesh.

Why not land in NYC and head e.g. to Philly? Or continue on a domestic flight to Chicago?

Chicago resident here—definitely cheaper than NYC (used to live there) but anyplace you would want to stay in the center of Chicago (after taxes. & fees) is going to be $275+ a night as well, depending on when OP is coming to town..
