Strange and America end up touching down on the alt-Earth called Earth-838, which looks not entirely dissimilar to our own Earth yet New York is far cleaner and has beautiful overgrown plants all over the city's many buildings.

Things get much stranger when the pair begin exploring their temporary home, though. Strange notices that traffic lights are reversed - meaning red is "go" - and America mistakenly believes that food is free in this universe, before a street vendor teaches her otherwise.

The real morsel of interest here, though, is that America tells Strange that, of the 73 universes she's visited so far, the MCU's prime universe, Earth-616, is one of the few that charges people money to eat. Imagine that.
