Once you get to NYC, look for the the room or apartment rental in Sing Tao Daily. There are a lot of rental advertisement in this newspaper. It is better for you to have someone to rent a room for you ahead, or you can book a week of the hotel room, and in this week try to get your apartment rented. There is one hotel in China town call Wyndham China town. The rate is fair and the location is safe. The rate is US$ 225 per night, check it out online. And there is some cheap Chinese hotel around on Canal Street that you can stay if you can not rent you room in one week, but it is not recommended.
