miles. The USA is a federal republic and varies between the 3rd and 4th largest country in the world.
The USA is made up of 50 states with varying landscapes from the arctic conditions of Alaska to the tropical

located in the heart of Manhattan with observation decks on the 86th and 102nd floor!
American cuisine reflects the country’s history and diversity from clam chowder in New England to fried
chicken favoured in the American South, and beloved barbeque foods filling diners across the country.
