WHY ESSENTIAL:
Not that you’d know it by counting the number of LGBT publishers and indie bookstores in existence, but queer lit is alive and well. For proof, just slip into this tiny but packed-to-the-rafters bookstore, which turns 40 this month. Owner Kim Brinster may be surrounded by superstores, but her shelves—rich with everything from rarities and classics to hot-off-the-press fiction—show no sign of caving.
The secret:
Katie Holmes swung by the store and bought two DVDs right before it went public that she was dating Tom Cruise. No word on what the titles were. 15 Christopher St at Gay St (212-255-8097, oscarwildebooks.com)

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.
