101 Spring Street
WHY ESSENTIAL:
This cast-iron building on the corner of Mercer and Spring Streets in Soho may seem unusual at first glance because it lacks a boutique on the ground, but that’s not its only odd quality. In fact, it was the studio and residence of sculptor and Minimalism pioneer Donald Judd from 1968 (when he purchased the 1870 structure designed by Nicholas Whyte) until his death in 1994. Moreover, Judd conceived each floor of the house as a permanent installation of artworks and furnishings. This shrine to Minimalism is also the place where the whole idea of loft living got its start. It can currently be viewed only from the street, but the foundation hopes to restart public tours soon.
The secret:
The empty first floor of the Judd Foundation at 101 Spring Street was the location used as Kim Basinger’s gallery in the film 9½ Weeks—the fixtures crafted for the film are still there. 101 Spring St at Mercer St (juddfoundation.org)

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.
