Polaris (the "North Star") doesn't have a latitude. But that's OK, because latitude
is not what you're looking for. You're really trying to ask for its "elevation" ... the
angle between the horizon and Polaris in the sky.
That angle is equal to the observer's north latitude, so it would be easy to answer
if we knew what location you're actually interested in. Here are a few possibilities:
-- Massena NY . . . . . 44.9° above the northern horizon
-- Rochester NY . . . . 43.2° above the northern horizon
-- Buffalo NY . . . . . . 42.9° above the northern horizon
-- 85th St Transverse in Central Park, Manhattan . . . 40.8° above the northern horizon
