What as a English man should I look out for on a trip to the USA.

I don’t think anyone can actually answer your question if you’re not telling us where in the USA you’re visiting. This place is enormous, and the culture isn’t homogeneous.

If you go to NYC a slice of pizza is all you need to fuel your entire day.

Assuming this isn’t satire… It really depends on where you’re going. Assuming you’ll be in a big city, I’d say it’s pretty comparable to London. Don’t go walking along vacant streets at night, or during the day if the area gives you bad vibes. Avoid confrontation with anyone looking to start some shit. In big crowds I like to keep my wallet and phone in a front or otherwise harder-to-access pocket.

All that being said, most tourist areas are quite safe.

Also not arabic or queer. Also dont cross streets without a green light or you might get vaporized by an orbital drone for the royal offense of “jaywalking”

And don’t try to stand in some place idly outside for more than a minute. They call that “loitering” and it’s the barbaric act of experiencing being alive in public without spending a dime.

I think Italian and Irish are now acceptable. Maybe choose one of those.
