Screenings at Donnell Media Center, New York Public Library
WHY ESSENTIAL:
Though two of the center’s most requested movies are The Wizard of Oz and Fish Market, a 1955 documentary about the Fulton fishmongers, the center houses some 8,000 16mm films. And if you have an NYPL card, you can see double features like Fall of the House of Usher and The Blue Angel (both part of the recent “Featuring…Modernism in Motion” series) for—gasp!—free.
The secret:
Principal librarian David Callahan says the DMC owns a very rare 16mm copy of Susan Sontag’s Arab-Israeli conflict movie, Promised Land, as well as the only known print of Wonderful Construction, a now-eerie 1973 documentary about the building of the World Trade Center. 20 W 53rd St between Fifth and Madison Aves (212-621-0609, nypl.org)

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.

url is indeed wrong. gugunameable books sell textbooks.
