Re: When you're in another city or country
I must dress well- b/c even in Miami I get asked if I am from Spain or Italy 
I have never been mistaken for an American in Europe- I have even have women talking about me and my sister on line in english- thinking we couldn't speak it 
but to answer the orginal question- I don't think I own anything that would call out where I am from - and neither does DH- he isn't into sports- so he doesn't wear jersey's or t-shirts

Re: When you're in another city or country
Leave this outfit at home.
You may think that the world loves American tourists...but I wouldn't be so sure!!!
eta...you would be surprised to see how many people all over the world wear Mets and Yankee gear. And Manchester United gear too.

Re: When you're in another city or country
I don't think that I wear anything that would indicate that I am from NY or the US.
Traveling outside of the country, I try to dress well and dress up all of the time - skirts, dresses.
In Milan, my family told me that they know an American tourist when they see flip flops on their feet.

that's actually a good point
when i say out of the country - for us, this is more like the carribean, we'll be travelling with Americans for the most part to the islands
I dunno - I'm not ashamed of NY, but at the same time, I don't want to broadcast it - because you never know what kind of crazies you meet

Yeah... sick world we live in. 
But I have to say, since 9/11, when people I have met while on vacation, they all give you a look like "awwww I'm sorry about what you went through"

Re: When you're in another city or country
If you are a typical NY'er your accent will give it away. .
I can tell you that I have seen Yankees memorabilia in stores in Ireland.
(Not that you would wear Yankee stuff. just proving it's not just a NY thing)

Re: When you're in another city or country
It doesn't matter what I wear. The minute I open my mouth they know right away that Im from NY. You cant get anymore obvious than my NY accent.
