I live in Israel and always felt terrible for tourists who accidentally got stuck! Depending where you are you can end up with no public transportation, no grocery stores, restaurants, shops, museums, anything!

My wife and I arrived in France the same day as a holiday. All the grocery stores and restaurants were closed and we had absolutely no food - we spent an hour driving/walking from place to place. Defeated and on our way back to our car to go to our rental, our savior appeared.

A pizza truck.

Do all shops and restaurants stay open on holidays in the US?

It’s not too hard to find open shops and restaurants in the US during holidays.

The only day I’d say things really shutdown is Christmas Day, but even then many grocery stores have limited hours (open from 9am to 2pm).

Is there a party scene at all on the Sabbath?

sure, in cities with a large non-religious population like Tel Aviv or a large Arab population like Haifa
