We haven’t heard from our favorite 209-haunting uber-dashing favorite grad student in a while. This week, James Franco resurfaced in New York Magazine in a feature about New Yorkers old and new. Franco discusses the joys of riding the subway and being able to actually read in transit instead of listening to audiobooks on the Pacific Coast Highway. The brief interview includes a few lines about Butler, about which Franco muses: “I go to the Columbia library all the time…Everybody used to come up to me in the library. Then I realized I was in the one room people are free to talk in. Now I go to the quiet room.”

Plus, the cafe has lousy wireless.
