When you travel, can people tell where you are from?

A combination of some recent questions about visiting New York and ordering sandwiches made me recall my own visit to NYC when I was still in high school.
On several occasions, native New Yorkers correctly guessed that I was not just from California—but from San Diego. Damn. Apparently I was a walking stereotype without even knowing it.
Besides the incident where I ordered my sandwich with avocado What? Do people outside of California not like avocado?! It’s delicious!, I’m not entirely sure what is such the dead giveaway. Do I have a stamp on my forehead?
Do you have the same problem? Or do people usually guess something totally off base?
