On a scale from Saks Fifth Avenue to a subway sax player, where does Anne Hathaway fit? This is NYQ<\/a>, a series in which we find out how \u201cNew York\u201d notable New Yorkers really are.<\/p>\n

How many years have you lived in New York City? I was born in Brooklyn and then we moved to New Jersey when I was 6. Then I came back when I was 18, and it\u2019s been off and on since then.<\/p>\n

You could make one subway etiquette rule law. What would it be? Just get up for the pregnant ladies.<\/p>\n

Your cab driver is taking a horrible route. Do you interrupt? Yes. I mean, you keep it polite. I think you begin with a question: \u201cWhy are we going this way?\u201d Sometimes there is a legitimate reason. Just work it out together, and hopefully, you\u2019re friends by the end.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a blinking red light, and you\u2019re about to cross. Do you wait till it says walk, or are you crossing? That\u2019s one of the upsides of living here \u2014 you can\u2019t do it in other places. You get weird looks, and sometimes you get a ticket.<\/p>\n

You have family coming to town, but they only give you 24 hours\u2019 notice. What do you do with them? If you can get last-minute tickets, I would take them to see \u201cAir,\u201d by Kenzo. Great way to see the city and think about the city in a different way.<\/p>\n

Would you rather transfer trains or walk farther? Walk farther. Get above ground.<\/p>\n

Someone tells you the rats are actually cute. What\u2019s your honest response? I think it depends on proximity. If you\u2019re very close to them, they\u2019re maybe not so Pixar. However, maybe 50 feet, you\u2019re just like, Aw, I am in New York.<\/p>\n

Have you ever actually been to Staten Island? Yes. It\u2019s not a regular occurrence.<\/p>\n

Do you call it \u201cthe city\u201d or just \u201cManhattan\u201d? I call it \u201cthe city\u201d unless I know that I\u2019m speaking to someone from a different borough and then I call it \u201cManhattan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Do you have a New York area code? I used to have a 646.<\/p>\n

Do you think they still matter? I think there are too many other things that matter. But it was fun when it mattered.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the longest you\u2019ve ever waited on a subway platform? Probably 45 minutes.<\/p>\n

Bedbugs or roaches? Roaches. I mean, I have them. I just saw one not too long ago.<\/p>\n

Have you ever taken a piece of furniture off the street? Yes. It was a great table. It was my first apartment. I had an inflatable mattress and a TV, and I didn\u2019t have anything to put the TV on. And I was just walking down the street and I just saw this completely adorable little table. And it was my table for about ten years.<\/p>\n

What was your first apartment in New York like? It was a 350-square-foot walk-up, a sublet. But the best part was it had a fire escape. I would just go out there and get drunk and smoke cigarettes with my friends. And I literally didn\u2019t think life could get better.<\/p>\n

How many times have you moved in NYC? Oh, a lot. Upwards of eight but most likely, like, 15.<\/p>\n

What is something a tourist does that you secretly still do? Cheese out every single time I see the skyline.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your go-to public bathroom? Trick question. The answer is New York.<\/p>\n

Do you own a car? I do, but I don\u2019t have a license. I don\u2019t drive it. It\u2019s my husband\u2019s. It expired ten years ago.<\/p>\n

What is your best NYC celeb sighting? Faith Prince, who was Miss Adelaide in the \u201990s production of Guys and Dolls. I was, like, 7 or 8. My mom and I were walking, and Faith Prince was walking towards us, and I recognized her. I think I just started vibrating. I didn\u2019t say anything, and my mom saw her, too, and we just watched her pass. And then we turned to each other and held hands and jumped up and down.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re old enough to remember when \u2026 The Keith Haring mural was on Bowery and they painted over it. We\u2019re never going to be able to recreate it, and it should have been landmarked, and it never should have left.<\/p>\n

Who is the sexiest New Yorker? All That Jazz\u2013era Bob Fosse dancers.<\/p>\n
