Flying in the USA

Hi, I have a UK PPL and have just booked a short break in the US for September, starting off in Houston and then New York. I have only 2 spare days in each destination.

Can anyone enlighten me as to the logistics of being able to fly in the US on a CAA license? I'd obviously need to be checked out at any school and hence fly with an instructor, but do I need to preplan any paperwork before such event? Ideally i'd like to get a few hours in at each destination just to get a taste of it and then come back at a later date to make use of the lower rates.

If anyone can recommend a school or club at either destination that operate C150/152s or C172s then i'd be extremely grateful.

Thanks in advance.
