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?

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.
