205
WHY ESSENTIAL:
NYC’s club scene may have been cleaned up and stripped of personality over the years, but if you can make it past 205’s sometimes attitude-heavy door staff, head straight to the spot’s basement—that’s where you’ll find some of the messiest parties around. Great music, often of the space-disco and electrohouse varieties, certainly doesn’t hurt.
The secret:
The random Craigslist personal ads painted diagonally on the walls of the downstairs lounge may seem like decoration, but they once served a utilitarian purpose. According to 205 spokesperson Jenny Gottstein, within a month of the club’s opening (when the information was still fresh), patrons found that they could reply to the ads with an incredible success rate. Thus, 205 (unwittingly) became the progenitor of many a fruitful relationship involving butt plugs and long walks on the beach. 205 Chrystie St at Stanton St (212-477-6688)

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.
