The Northeast/New England is an area with distinct foods, customs, and social structures. Today, New England is the least religious region in the nation. New England cuisine is focused on seafood and dairy. In fact, the McDonalds' in the New England area offer a "McLobster", something unheard of in the South. Also, New England is filled with rich history of the country that attracts many tourists, with the Liberty Bell in Pennsylvania and many cities where the Independence War took place, such as Bennigton, Vermont.
