[OSM-newbies] Overpass API to get all amenities?

[Tac Tacelosky]

I'd like to get all nodes and ways within a bounding box that have any
amenity tags.  I think the Overpass API is the best way to go, but the
filtering seems to be for a specific amenity, e.g. k="amenity" and
v="restaurant".  I tried "*", but that didn't work.

Any suggestions on how to get all nodes and ways via an API call that are
tagged accordingly?

Thanks,

Tac
