Too generalized a question. A lot of people like to see something different to give them a better perspective on things, then again, that something different might be in your own country. Depends on what you’re looking for.

The cheapest hotels I could find in Manhattan were the YMCA and the Peach Tree Hotel, although, you might be able to find something cheaper. I was just trying to stay near a certain area. I think it was around 0 per night. I think it had communal showers. I got scabies from the mattress at the YMCA. The Peach Tree charged 15% Luxury tax because their hallways were carpeted, they had music in the elevator, and no scabies. The rooms were quite small.
What do you think? Answer below!
I’m not sure about your first question. Americans like to travel everywhere probably much like yourself. Backpacking within the US usually consists of hiking in the mountains and camping as opposed to backpacking outside the US which is urban style travel. That’s the best I could come up with.
You can spend a lot in those cities or go cheap. If you want to have a good time I would budget for around $200 a night for hotel rooms. When I visit those areas I use priceline.com. I’ve been able to get rooms in times square (NYC) for under $120 per night and in LA around the airport for around $100 per night. You’ll need to rent a car in LA but not NYC. After that it’s just entertainment and food expenses. Good luck.
