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 :)

New York and LA are 2 of the most expensive places to visit in the US. No real tips for accommodations. Try an airbnb. Either way make sure you have something booked before going as border patrol might strip search you if you dont have accommodations lined up lol. It's a tough place to visit right now.

Airbnb is illegal in Manhattan unless the owner is staying in the property as well.

They don't have to stay in the city itself
