The US has that too, but in New Orleans mostly. It’s called a too go cup and it’s mighty convenient.

Also, New Orleans is full of third places and so tiny that a bike is plenty to move around

There is a humorous pun on “Wegbier”. It is sometimes called “Fusspils” (foot beer) which is a homophone of “Fusspilz” (athlete’s foot).

New Orleans is such a treasure. One of the few "European" cities in the U.S..

It's a real shame it's going to be taken by the sea.

Yeah, there is still some good time to be had in the meantime.

I can picture the last days of the city already. It will be a drunk brass band on a Cajun navy boat, parading into oblivion.
