Pearl Oyster Bar
WHY ESSENTIAL:
Egos can make even the prettiest thing ugly, but the intellectual-property wars that are being waged by Pearl chef-owner Rebecca Charles for the rights to her famous lobster roll and other improvements on New England fish-shack fare haven’t tainted our love for her restaurant. With its handsome wood interior, inviting bar and most importantly, unpretentious, divinely executed food, this casual spot outshines its fish-focused fine-dining brethren.
The secret:
Sopranos fans might recall the scene in which Tony, on his way out of a coma, daydreams about a lobster roll from Pearl Oyster Bar—a tidbit added by show creator and Pearl regular David Chase. Two months ago, James Gandolfini finally visited the eatery. “He was very sweet,” says Charles. “When I brought him his lobster roll, I said, ‘Now you can finally have what you’ve been dreaming about!’ He had no idea what I was talking about. I explained, and he looked at me, shocked. ‘This is the place?’ he said. ‘No shit!’ ” 18 Cornelia St between Bleecker and W 4th Sts (212-691-8211)

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.
