On a scale of Willy Loman\u2019s garden<\/a> to the \u201cPanic in Central Park,\u201d what is Tony nominee\u00a0Christopher Abbott\u2019s NYQ? This is \u201cNYQ<\/a>,\u201d 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? <\/strong>Twenty. Even.<\/p>\n You could make one subway-etiquette rule law \u2014 what would it be?<\/strong> Don\u2019t eat. Don\u2019t take up too much space. Don\u2019t breathe, ideally.<\/p>\n Someone bumps into you on the subway \u2014 what do you do?<\/strong> There\u2019s nothing you can do about that. That\u2019s just sort of par for the course.<\/p>\n Your train line is down and you are running late \u2014 what do you do?<\/strong> If the weather is good enough, biking is my go-to. It\u2019s the quickest way to get around.<\/p>\n Your cab driver is taking you on a horrible route. Do you interrupt?<\/strong> You give them \u2014 they\u2019re making the choice. There\u2019s a way to do it sneakily. What do you think about taking Sixth up or whatever? Make it their idea.<\/p>\n How often do you take public transportation to the airport?<\/strong> Never.<\/p>\n Someone tries to hand you a flyer on the street \u2014 what do you do?<\/strong> I just keep my hands in my pockets and just look up.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a blinking red light and you\u2019re about to cross \u2014 do you wait it out till it says walk, or are you crossing?<\/strong> You\u2019re going.<\/p>\n You are in the Financial District and need to have dinner ASAP, or you\u2019ll pass out. Where do you go?<\/strong> Maybe the Odeon.<\/p>\n You have family coming to town in 24 hours \u2014 what do you do with them on short notice?<\/strong> Let them figure it out on their own.<\/p>\n You\u2019re in town for a long holiday weekend and know the city will empty out \u2014 where do you go?<\/strong> I mean, I guess you got to go, like, all these restaurants that you can never get into. You know, Four Charles \u2014 there\u2019s a long wait list for that.<\/p>\n Would you rather transfer trains or walk farther?<\/strong> Walk.<\/p>\n Someone says the rats are actually cute \u2014 what\u2019s your honest response?<\/strong> All right.<\/p>\n Someone you want to impress asks for restaurant advice \u2014 what neighborhood do you send them to for the best Italian food?<\/strong> Altro Paradiso is one of my favorites. It\u2019s one of my go-tos. I\u2019m there all the time.<\/p>\n Have you ever actually been to Staten Island?<\/strong> I have. Four times.<\/p>\n What\u2019s your area code?<\/strong> 203. I haven\u2019t changed my number since I was 15.<\/p>\n Bedbugs or roaches?<\/strong> Roaches.<\/p>\n Roaches or rats?<\/strong> Roaches.<\/p>\n Do you call Manhattan \u201cthe city\u201d or just Manhattan?<\/strong> If you\u2019re in Brooklyn, you\u2019ll say, \u201cManhattan.\u201d If you\u2019re outside of New York entirely, you\u2019ll say, \u201cthe city.\u201d<\/p>\n What\u2019s your go-to public bathroom?<\/strong> I\u2019ll be honest. I don\u2019t shit in public.<\/p>\n What about NYC still makes no sense to you?<\/strong> It is kind of weird that the subways are always a little bit fucked up.<\/p>\n You know you\u2019re a New Yorker when \u2026<\/strong> You feel like you own a part of the city, somehow. You have some ownership over it.<\/p>\n What\u2019s a place that closed that you wish you could bring back?<\/strong> Beatrice Inn.<\/p>\n Last time you ate a hot dog from a hot-dog stand?<\/strong> Before I moved here. Probably, like, 30 years ago.<\/p>\n How many times have you moved in New York?<\/strong> Fifteen.<\/p>\n What\u2019s the hardest move you\u2019ve done?<\/strong> All of them, for some reason. The longest one, I would say \u2014 like, it was Harlem to East Village to Bed-Stuy. It was a big transition.<\/p>\n Has your phone ever gone off during a live performance?<\/strong> Never.<\/p>\n Have you ever fallen asleep while in the audience?<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n What do you do if the person next to you is behaving badly?<\/strong> You say something.<\/p>\n Every New Yorker should do what at least once?<\/strong> Yell at someone who didn\u2019t pick up their dog shit.<\/p>\n
