Hayden Planetarium
WHY ESSENTIAL:
We’re dorks. Gifted with a major face-lift in 2000, the American Museum of Natural History’s astronomical amphitheater dazzles audiences with stellar productions, like the current Robert Redford–narrated “Cosmic Collisions,” which reveals the explosive encounters that created the Milky Way and altered the course of life on Earth.
The secret:
On the model of Jupiter, you’ll find a little black circle, which represents where a comet struck. “I left it in there to remind us all of how tenuous life is, how it could all disappear,” says planetarium director Neil deGrasse Tyson. Central Park West at 81st St (212-769-5100)

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.
