Mardi Gras

📣 Notas para viajeros

The U.S. offers diverse geography, including major cities (e.g., Manhattan, Chicago), natural wonders (Yellowstone, Alaska), canyonlands, Pacific Northwest coasts, and warm beaches (Florida, Hawaii, Southern California).

• Non-retail government offices (banks, post offices) often close on federal holidays.
• Festivities may occur on the specific date of a federal holiday, even if that date falls on a weekend.
• Travel hubs and retail areas experience significant crowding between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day.
• New Year's Day (January 1) is a federal holiday, and most non-retail businesses are closed.
• Table manners are generally European-influenced. Do not slurp or talk loudly while eating; wait for all diners to be served before starting. When visiting a private home, bring a small gift (e.g., wine, flowers), but do not expect to contribute to the meal.
