have a look at booking an apartment rather than a hotel, probably cost you less for the week than a hotel and you'll also be able to afford the cheaper week long flight. Also would make you feel like a real new yorker, hitting the midnight deli and so forth.
Have a look online and i'll ping an email to a friend stateside to see if it is actually cheaper...
Also have words with Aram and Jenne they may know someone who can sort you out, also Jenne needs someone to bring back her roadbike so you could maybe sort out a quid pro quo...
