Kiosk
WHY ESSENTIAL:
Like the Ellis Island of design shops, owner Alisa Grifo’s boutique serves as an international hub, dishing out the wares of a single country for a few month at a time. With quirky items like Finnish tar candy and Japanese bike baskets, Grifo’s shelves always offer an intriguing blend, just like the city’s multiculti mélange.
The secret:
The Volvo you’ve been coveting on Kiosk’s website—you know, the classy old-school one priced at $75,000—doesn’t actually exist. “It was a joke that we posted on April 1 but then never took down,” says Grifo. “One person even wrote us to say it was overpriced.” 95 Spring St between Broadway and Mercer St, second floor (212-226-8601)

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.
