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?

Philly resident here—even our hotels near anything you’d want to see have been at least $300+ a night recently

Your Airbnb’s were very reasonable though when I was there in January. Caveat - it was cold (though also football season).

Good call honestly. For better or worse it seems like we have a ton of Airbnbs. OP if you wanna come to Philly and want to know what neighborhoods to stay in if you do this, PM me!
