We already knew that Gov. Andrew Cuomo supports gay marriage, his girlfriend's cooking, and chilly rooms. And of course, he worships at the altar of muscle cars. But in an email interview with the News, he reveals his entire OKCupid profile:
- His favorite team is the Mets, and his favorite sport is football.
- His favorite musician is Jon Bon Jovi.
- His favorite movies are Hoop Dreams and Casablanca.
- His favorite restaurant is the Mount Kisco Diner.
- His favorite NY experience was "having a sleepover at the Natural History Museum with my girls."
- He hasn't ridden the subway since last year.
- The politicians he wants to emulate are his father, Mario Cuomo, and Bill Clinton.
- Did we mention that he really, really loves muscle cars? Because he really does.
