Almost all highways in Canada and the United States are well maintained, with amenities such as gas, food, and lodging ranging from adequate to very convenient. If you experience an emergency that endangers your life, safety, or property, you will be able to dial 911 from a compatible cell phone on almost any major highway and reach an operator at any time. Vehicle and medical insurance issued in either Canada or the U.S. is usually valid in the other, though the wise traveller will confirm with their insurer. Canada and U.S. insurance coverage in Mexico is sometimes limited or not honored. Again, the wise traveler will confirm with their insurer.</p> <p id="mw-Q">Car rental agencies are available at almost every airport. Normally, a valid driver's license and a major credit card or cash deposit are required. Rentals are sometimes restricted for drivers under age 25. Many agencies offer short term insurance and additional coverage.</p> <p id="mw-g">In much of western Alaska and almost all of Greenland, no major highways connect towns and cities. If roads do exist, they do not usually have the same standards as roads in the rest of North America.</p> <p id="mw-w">Throughout most of North America, including the entire continent, traffic drives on the right with most cars being left-hand-drive.

After all, if the pre-Columbian Mexicans hadn't cultivated chocolate, how could the French have created mousse, or without tomatoes, how could the Italians have created pizza or spaghetti sauce? <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Mexican_cuisine" title="Mexican cuisine" id="mwAds">Mexican cuisine</a> is justly famous throughout the world, but today's modern Mexican chefs show innovation that goes well beyond the familiar tacos, tamales, and tortillas. Regional specialties range from cochinita de pibil in the Yucatan, birria in Guadalajara, and cabrito in Monterrey. Oaxaca has become a noted destination for culinary schools (or just hungry travelers wanting to taste something unique). Tequila and mezcal are classic distilled spirits. </p> <p id="mwAdw">Since the United States was heavily populated by pioneering peoples and global immigration, the diversity of <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/American_cuisine" title="American cuisine" id="mwAd0">its cuisine</a> is immense. Many cosmopolitan cities (Chicago, New York, <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/San_Francisco" title="San Francisco" id="mwAd4">San Francisco</a>, and <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Las_Vegas" title="Las Vegas" id="mwAd8">Las Vegas</a> to name a few) have a broad array of dining options to offer tourists. These cities attract both famous chefs from around the world serving world-class fare in Michelin starred restaurants, as well as enclaves of various ethnic groups offering inexpensive regional cuisines from their homelands. Foreign cuisines have been adapted in many ways to suit American palates and use local ingredients; for instance, the United States and Canada have <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Pizza_in_the_United_States_and_Canada" title="Pizza in the United States and Canada" id="mwAeA">several distinctive variations of pizza</a>.</p> <p id="mwAeE">Canadian food, like that of the U.S., varies from region to region and is heavily influenced by its immigrant culture. Broadly speaking, you should think seafood on the coasts, meat and potatoes in the center of the country, and pretty much anything you can think of in the cosmopolitan major cities. <b id="mwAeI">Poutine</b>, french fries covered in cheese curd and gravy, may be the nation's favorite fast food snack.</p> <p id="mwAeM">The Caribbean is known for its seafood and specialties like <b id="mwAeQ">Jerk chicken</b>.</p> <p id="mwAeU">While <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Mexican_food" title="Mexican food" class="mw-redirect" id="mwAeY">Mexican</a> influence extends into the cuisine of Northern Central America, countries like Nicaragua or Costa Rica have their own distinct flavor, based mostly upon rice and beans that together make up <i id="mwAec">gallo pinto</i> (also known as <i id="mwAeg">casamiento</i> in other parts of Central America), a staple food that you will eat at least once during any visit, no matter how short.</p> </section><section data-mw-section-id="29" id="mwAek"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2" id="mwAto"><h2 id="Drink">Drink</h2><span class="mw-editsection" id="mwAts"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAtw">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=North_America&action=edit&section=29" title="Edit section: Drink" id="mwAt0"><span id="mwAt4">edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAt8">]</span></span></div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb" id="mwAeo"><a href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Salsa_performers_in_New_York.jpg" class="mw-file-description" id="mwAes"><img resource="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Salsa_performers_in_New_York.jpg" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a3/Salsa_performers_in_New_York.jpg/270px-Salsa_performers_in_New_York.jpg" decoding="async" data-file-width="901" data-file-height="600" data-file-type="bitmap" height="180" width="270" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a3/Salsa_performers_in_New_York.jpg/405px-Salsa_performers_in_New_York.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a3/Salsa_performers_in_New_York.jpg/540px-Salsa_performers_in_New_York.jpg 2x" class="mw-file-element" id="mwAew"/></a><figcaption id="mwAe0">Salsa dancers in New York</figcaption></figure> <p id="mwAe4">Europeans used to mock American beers for their lack of diversity and flavor. Anyone still mocking should really look again. While a light beer can still be enjoyed in hot regions on sandy beaches, the U.S. has microbreweries dotting the country. Major concentrations of microbreweries can be found in <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/New_England" title="New England" id="mwAe8">New England</a>, the <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Pacific_Northwest" title="Pacific Northwest" id="mwAfA">Pacific Northwest</a>, <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Colorado" title="Colorado" id="mwAfE">Colorado</a>, and Northern California. The diversity of beers is now enormous and most beer-lovers will find at least one or two to their liking. Mexico is known for the lighter beers (Corona, Dos Equis, Pacifico) that go well with their cuisine and warm climate, although darker options are also available. The lighter beers are also more common in southern areas and the Caribbean, though many of these areas also have special non-beer options (regional types of rum are quite diverse, for example).</p> <p id="mwAfI">Canada and the U.S. have various wine regions and variants which have become internationally recognized and respected. Try the ice wine from Ontario and you will never forget the clean, clear beauty that is extracted from the frozen grape. The US has become the fourth largest wine making region in the world, with California producing roughly 90% of that volume. A trip to San Francisco should be accompanied by a drive through the famous <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Napa_Valley" title="Napa Valley" id="mwAfM">Napa Valley</a>, although if the crowds deter you, you can easily enjoy lovely wineries a few hours south along the <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Central_Coast_(California)" title="Central Coast (California)" id="mwAfQ">Central Coast</a> of California (add a stop at Hearst Castle) or beautiful Pinot Noirs in <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Oregon" title="Oregon" id="mwAfU">Oregon</a>.

Regional drinks and types of liquors abound. Beverages in the southern regions will often be mixed with tropical fruits; and of course, Mexico is famous for fermentation techniques with the agave plant (Tequila, anyone?). Rums abound in Southern areas of Mexico as well as Central America and the Caribbean, and have much diversity in methods of production. Cocktails made with gin and vodkas have undergone a renaissance in the U.S. and Canada, evoking memories of old movie stars from days gone by. And of course, who has not heard of the Mint Julep from <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Kentucky" title="Kentucky" id="mwAfg">Kentucky</a>, or the Hurricane from New Orleans.</p> <p id="mwAfk">As with all cultures, there will be sports bars with large television screens and avid fans.

These establishments will usually be decorated with nicknacks from <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Ireland" title="Ireland" id="mwAf8">Ireland</a> and may even have an authentic looking 19th century interior. Sometimes the interior is actually imported from a real Irish pub that has gone out of business. The bar menu almost always consists of Guinness, Harp, and Jameson. Fake Irish pubs may seem tacky to those who have been to the real thing, but they are a genuine part of the landscape in the U.S. and Canada and are often among the most popular bars in town. If you're in a major American city on St. Patrick's Day, a visit to one of these establishments is a must.</p> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb" id="mwAgA"><a href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:St._Anthony_Parade_at_Mardi_Gras_Panorama_Band_2010.jpg" class="mw-file-description" id="mwAgE"><img resource="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:St._Anthony_Parade_at_Mardi_Gras_Panorama_Band_2010.jpg" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/44/St._Anthony_Parade_at_Mardi_Gras_Panorama_Band_2010.jpg/270px-St._Anthony_Parade_at_Mardi_Gras_Panorama_Band_2010.jpg" decoding="async" data-file-width="3021" data-file-height="1962" data-file-type="bitmap" height="175" width="270" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/44/St._Anthony_Parade_at_Mardi_Gras_Panorama_Band_2010.jpg/405px-St._Anthony_Parade_at_Mardi_Gras_Panorama_Band_2010.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/44/St._Anthony_Parade_at_Mardi_Gras_Panorama_Band_2010.jpg/540px-St._Anthony_Parade_at_Mardi_Gras_Panorama_Band_2010.jpg 2x" class="mw-file-element" id="mwAgI"/></a><figcaption id="mwAgM">Jazz, dancing, marching, and general revelry at <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/New_Orleans_Mardi_Gras" title="New Orleans Mardi Gras" id="mwAgQ">New Orleans Mardi Gras</a></figcaption></figure> <p id="mwAgU">Drinking ages vary by country. In the U.S., a government-issued ID, demonstrating its holder is 21 or above, is required to purchase or consume alcohol. Availability to purchase will vary as well; some states issue liquor licenses more broadly allowing you to find alcohol in many shops and stores (California, Washington); while others may only be purchased in state run shops (<a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Utah" title="Utah" id="mwAgY">Utah</a>), or licensed bars and restaurants. In Mexico, the drinking age is 18, sending many young US border residents into the casinos and nightclubs on weekends. In Canada, the drinking age (18 or 19) will vary by territory and province. The drinking age is 18 throughout Central America, though enforcement certainly varies.</p> </section><section data-mw-section-id="30" id="mwAgc"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2" id="mwAuA"><h2 id="Sleep">Sleep</h2><span class="mw-editsection" id="mwAuE"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAuI">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=North_America&action=edit&section=30" title="Edit section: Sleep" id="mwAuM"><span id="mwAuQ">edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAuU">]</span></span></div> <p id="mwAgg">Hostels are available in the cities, though often in less desirable locations. If hostels are your usual lodging choice, consider options such as the YMCA or a cheap hotel. Independent hotels and international and regional hotel chains are widespread across both Canada and the USA. Most hotel chains have free smart phone apps to make it easy to schedule and keep up with travel itinerary while on the road. In these countries, as well as major tourist regions of Mexico and the Caribbean, high-speed internet service is typically available, though sometime at an additional fee. Hotel chains also offer reward programs and bonuses for frequent travelers, as do some of the online options. Bed and breakfasts are available in many cities and other popular tourist destinations. Camping spots are widely available, generally along highways or near lakes and rivers, many require a small fee, so read signs and inquire. In more populated U.S. national parks (<a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Yosemite" title="Yosemite" class="mw-redirect" id="mwAgk">Yosemite</a>, <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Grand_Canyon" title="Grand Canyon" id="mwAgo">Grand Canyon</a>, <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Yellowstone_National_Park" title="Yellowstone National Park" id="mwAgs">Yellowstone</a>) camping and accommodations within the parks will often need booking up to 12 months in advance. You may also experience challenges with accommodations at the small hotels just outside the parks during high-seasons.</p> <p id="mwAgw">To really experience life in the United States, a small bed and breakfast is the way to go! Bed and breakfasts, which are usually run by the owners who live on the property, will give you a better feel of what it's like to "be an American". Many of these owners have traveled widely, read widely and have knowledge of their area to guide you to those unique experiences in the United States.</p> </section><section data-mw-section-id="31" id="mwAg0"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2" id="mwAuY"><h2 id="Stay_safe">Stay safe</h2><span class="mw-editsection" id="mwAuc"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAug">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=North_America&action=edit&section=31" title="Edit section: Stay safe" id="mwAuk"><span id="mwAuo">edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAus">]</span></span></div> <p id="mwAg4">Police and other emergency services are widely available most anywhere throughout the United States and Canada as well as most areas of Mexico and usually have fast response times. In the United States, Canada and Mexico, police and other first responders can be summoned in an emergency by dialing 9-1-1 on a compatible phone. Safety varies widely from place to place, so see the appropriate article on the region of interest.
