What the nicest thing is depends a lot on what you like
The great thing in the USA is that there is so much choice, in food and otherwise.

I am rather partial to IHOP/ Denny's all day breakfast stuff, especially hashbrowns and pancakes.

There certainly is a wide range of choice and the flavours options vary from state to state which is always interesting. I don't eat out very much because of a gluten allergy and I like making my own food. My weakness is a gluten free pizza from a Midwest chain.

I love food delivery in the US. Pizza and Chinese are probably the most popular. I think those foods "travel" better than most. Very rare for any place to deliver hamburgers for instance.

Here's the menu from a deliver place we use:

I loved Philly Cheese Steaks (steak sandwich in Irish).

Also, Sushi on the west coast is very good.

I think something first time visitors notice is the huge(!) amount of over weight people.

It just shows how all american meat is genetically modified. And how disgusting it is with huge amounts of hormones pumped in unlike the meat we have here in ireland. Also shows how brutally some of the animals are slaughtered in america and the small temporary living conditions they have just until they are ready for killing

oh god glad didnt look at it so eww that sounds manky it does, i didnt think meat over in america was that bad and its not like that in ireland?

Ireland has far more regulations in terms of labelling GM foods, what you are allowed to feed cows/ pigs, battery hens etc. Of course you can get corn fed chickens and grass fed, non-medicated beef in the USA too (lots of choice, remember!), but if you are going to a fast=-food restaurant, Dennys etc you get the cheap meat, because it is cheap food.
