Bagder, as a proud Rockboxer and honorary New Yorker, I feel it is my duty to help you guys in locating a place in New York to host DevCon 2008.
Let me know exactly what it is you're looking to get (in terms of hotel, workspace, whatnot), and I'll start researching on that field.

Happy to do my first proper devcon, with actual dev and con, but I can't make the last weekend in June. (Unless I fail to get a ticket for http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/ , of course.)

I just want you to consider about a meet in a European city.
Firstly, noone was able to find a flight for less than 600€ (ok, US people probably will have to pay a similar price to get to the EU).
But secondly, as Europeans (actually everyone) have to submit VERY personal data such as religion, finger prints, credit card numbers. I think they want to have DNA too. It totals to about 20-25 data fields. This means, traveling to the US means giving up privacy.
I'm not sure if US people have to submit similar data to the EU, but I don't think so.
Thirdly, from what I've heard, there're more core devs in the EU than in the US. Probably also more other people that like to join the meet.
At this point, I'd like to suggest Berlin. I know that 2 devs live there, and I live there too. Anyway, Berlin is a great city at all, and it's way less expensive then i.e. London.
Edit: According to GodEater, they don't want to have the credit card number. But that doesn't change anything (for me). It's still a bunch of data, which is very personal, and I can't control their way through the US
Edit2: If you want to read more about that issue, I've found this two official docs/pages:
