Tourist Giveaways

In light of the recent "NYC vs. Big Apple" terminology thread - what are some giveaways that a person is a tourist? Too-big smiles? Desire for directions to the local Olive Garden? Use of the words "red sauce?"

What tips you off?

(n.b. this is all meant in light-hearted fun!)

Seeing them look up at tall buildings like they never seen a building that tall before. Also taking pictures of tall buildings and other sites. People who live here won't be doing that.

Peering at maps in Subway cars that's a dead give-away for me and queuing up for the Visitors card at the 1 and 1/2 floor at Macy's at Herald Square.

The waist pouches are a riot, though that's true in any city.

You can tell tourists by body language. Seriously, they're just way more awkward and gawky.
