    Time Out New York / Issue 631 : Nov 1–7, 2007
    Essential secrets

    What the guidebooks won’t tell you

    Our editors chose the city’s most vital places, people and things—and then tracked down un-Googleable, ultra-valuable tips about each. Plus some quizzes to see what you already know.

    WHY ESSENTIAL:
    It could mean catching a Whore’s Mascara and the Dazzle Dancers show or watching a screening of Nardicio’s Great Gay American Road Trip. Either way, you haven’t done gay nightlife in this town until you’ve done Nardicio. The party impresario is responsible for such legendarily sleazy soirees as Sundays at the Bijou with Daniel, Cornhole County and Daniel Nardicio’s Evening Service—a truly, um, religious experience. He also taught Page Six suck-ups the importance of standing on the right when being photographed with a celebrity. Says Nardicio, “The papers always put ‘so-and-so and friend,’ but if you are on the right, they have to get your name to print it because they can’t put ‘friend and so-and-so.’ I was taught that by a famous person!”

    The secret:
    When Nardicio threw his first event six years ago (a Nina Hagen concert at Webster Hall), his best friend, Chad, was dying of AIDS. “He was so excited that I burst onto the nightlife scene, and I knew how much he wanted to be a part of the events I was throwing,” recalls the promoter. Chad died not long after the Hagen show, and ever since, Nardicio takes a moment before each party to dedicate it to his buddy. (dlist.com)

      Josh, it is true. X is not on the menu. I am really upset that Time Out printed my secret website for everybody to see. gugunnameable is so secret, you can't even view it on a regular computer -- the secret password is www.unnameablebooks.net

      The concept of this piece, as described, is excellent; the execution is terrible and misleading (per the description, anyway–it would have been a fine article properly described). A tip would be, for example: "order X at Pearl Oyster Bar, it's not on the menu, it's excellent, and you have to request it." Or a reservation password or somesuch.

      How is this an "ultra-valuable tip?" It's not even a "tip," it's a piece of trivia.
