A8: When traveling to #NYC, leave the big tourist areas! Visit the outer boroughs of the city for the best restaurants. Also, our servers get paid a much lower hourly rate; it is standard to tip 20%. #travelskills

replying to @jetsettingjoggr @jetsettingjoggr @travelskills Table turnover can be important in some North American dining venues, too, so you'll be billed & expected to leave table faster than you may be used to in Europe. #TravelSkills

My advice is to research local #food. #NorthAmerica has surprising regional food diversity that #Europeans often arenât aware of. Here in #Maryland we specialize in steamed #crabs & #crabcakes, the quality of which you wonât find elsewhere.

A9. Most unusual dish in #Europe? For me, the squid ink pasta in Taormina, #Sicily. Delicious, but I destroyed a white shirt. ;-) (Also difficult to photograph in low light.) #TravelSkills #travel

replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis A8: Long answer. Depends what city and what price point they choose to dine in/at. I would say that many will find restaurants and diners' voices MUCH LOUDER than they are used to and might prefer. Also, enormous portions #TravelSkills
