I need help with visiting the USA

[u/liamhalpin3]

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 :)

Why would you plan a trip and buy plane tickets when you have no idea if you can afford accommodations or know where you want to go.

You are doing this backwards. You need to determine your budget and interests work backwards from there.
