Looking for work!

Hello i am a 23 year old guy from Manchester, England and i am hoping to find some cash in hand work in NYC so i can come and experience the city and all it has to offer! I have 6 years construction experience over here in England and also in Sydney, Australia where i spent two years on a working holiday. I hope to get an offer of work and come over to America to spend a few months as i have always wanted to come to New York and live in the city. I will consider any offer of work as long as i have enough to supplement my stay i am fine with that. I have money to fly over and to start me off but don't want to end up stuck with no work and having to come home. Any help that anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated and if you could email me on jonny689@hotmail.co.uk that would be fantastic! Thank you.
