1. Well, considering that even a bunk in a youth hostel in NYC can cost as much as $100 a night, why not stay at one of the hotels offered by the NY Inns Hotel Group (see link, below). They have three very nice hotels right in Manhattan, in the Murray Hill (near Times Square), Union Square (near the East and West Village) and Upper West Side (near Lincoln Center and Central Park) neighborhoods, and the rooms are nice, the service is good, and they're affordable, too! Check out the link below to see their webpage, and, no, I don't work for them or anything like that, I'm just a fan. The only cheaper accommodations in New York City might be the YMCA, where very basic rooms go for as little as $65 per night (see link, below). Good luck, and welcome to the Big Apple!!
2. there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely show you great hotels at the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it's very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.
3. I have used a priceline bidding strategy to get 4 or 5 star hotels at significant discount rates - sometimes 1/2 off in New York. Here are the details. http://www.how2dothings.com/how-to-find-a-cheap-hotel-in-new-york-city-1177.html I recommend trying it out. Hope this helps.
