This is your slogan for sleeping. There's lots of parks or even just random bits of foliage all over American towns, if it's dark and nobody sees you, you're free to sleep there. Find a place early and then come back to it at night, then wake up before dawn and get going somewhere; the time right before and after park hours are the most important. The underside of an underpass is loud, makes for bad sleeping. There is strength in numbers and local wisdom: if a bunch of homeless people are somewhere, it's an ok place to be. They also know if free food is going to be passed out somewhere.

>Misc:
Americans are used to buskers, that'll be a good way to make some money/friends. Just keep an eye out and scram if someone decides to be a cunt about you.
Go out West, I promise you're not going to get eaten by a bear. America is gorgeous and has an insane variety, you're doing yourself a disservice to not at least see the Grand Canyon. Read some Jack Kerouac and find out why he called Denver the Gateway to the West. No guarantee you'll find meaning East of the Mississippi.
If a fast food restaurant is open 24 hours, you can simply stay there all night. Workers don't get paid enough to give a shit, just buy another burger if need be. They all have free wifi and outlets to charge your phone.
You don't have a car, but: You can park in a walmart parking lot for 24 hours. BLM Land (Bureau of Land Management) is free to camp on.
You're solo traveling, that means you decide how long you stay in the same place. You're the master of your own fate. Embrace the adventure and err on the side of leaving people too quickly than outstaying your welcome - always leave on a good note if they're gonna review you.
And finally, have fun :) visit cool museums and art galleries, chat up the front desk worker and get in for free! Go to the amateur rodeo night! Chat up a cute stranger in a coffee shop! You'll never see her again, you can say whatever you want!
