News Summary

• Dining culture varies greatly around the world, so you can’t exactly roll into a restaurant anywhere you travel and expect things to be done exactly as you’re used to at home.
• In Italy and France, rushing through a multicourse meal would be a big no-no.
• In Latin America and the Mediterranean, meals are often eaten later — around 8 or 9 p.m.
• Some cities in the U.S. do not sleep, so avoid wandering around at night expecting to find an open fast-food joint or restaurant.
