    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.

    APT

    WHY ESSENTIAL:
    APT may be located in bozo central (the Meatpacking District), but the boîte has long featured one of Gotham’s smartest music policies. Deep funk and soul, old-school hip-hop, Berlin minimal techno and quirky West Coast house are just a few of the aural delights that the bi-level lounge has on tap every week.

    The secret:
    “There’s a spot directly in the middle of the dance floor where there’s no bass at all,” says music director Justin Carter. “The result of the two subwoofers sitting opposite each other in the room. The bass sound waves move toward each other and cancel out.” 419 W 13th St between Ninth Ave and Washington St (212-414-4245)

      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.
