Often there's overlap. The ethnic cuisine was 'Americanized' or new dishes, uniquely American, were created as a fusion of different cuisines. Hot dogs and chop suey come to mind. Chop suey and California rolls are examples of regional cuisines of the Western United States that are as American as Apple Pie.
I live in America. I know that there is an overlap, but thank you for trying to teach me something about my own country.
I was talking about those authentic ethnic foods being listed as regional fare, and not those dishes that have been tweaked for American tastes (i.e. pizza). Matzo ball soup is not as American as apple pie, and I'd bet that many northerners have never even heard of it.
Coke is so ubiquitous that it could hardly be considered a "Northern" drink, especially since it originated in and is still headquartered in Georgia. Lemonade also struck me as more of a Southern drink seeing how citrus trees don't grow in the North, though it too is basically ubiquitous these days.

EXACTLY. I drink lemonade, Coke, and beer far more than I ever drink sweet tea or Dr. Pepper, and I've never drank whiskey.
When I think of northern drinks, I tend to think of root beer, ginger ale, cider, etc.
