Essential secrets
What the guidebooks won’t tell you
The MisanthropePhoto: John MarcusNew York Theatre Workshop
WHY ESSENTIAL:
Year after year, NYTW proves itself to be the one theater in this town with a consistently international and avant-garde sense of programming (see The Misanthrope). This December, it will welcome Mikhail Baryshnikov in short plays by Samuel Beckett, directed by experimental legend JoAnne Akalaitis. And in the spring, it’s a real coup: the Off Broadway premiere of Elevator Repair Service. If NYTW ever closed its doors, the city’s theater would be more Podunk than it already seems.
The secret:
In 1968, Bruce Mailman and his partner Albert Poland, two significant figures in the burgeoning Off-Off Broadway arena, purchased the warehouse at 79 East 4th Street. That year, actor Julie Bovasso named Mailman’s new theater the “Truck and Warehouse”—truck because it used to be a garage. The surprisingly large space looks much the same today as when the first audience walked in: exposed brick walls, prominent lighting grid, a very broad stage and red cinema seats. The name, however, did not stick. 79 E 4th St between Bowery and Second Ave (212-780-9037)

What white people will fall for.
Kiosk is hilarious. They were selling a package of dried plums for $15 that you can find 3 blocks south at hong kong supermarket for $2.
I am trying to find Peter Tear! Please forward to him.
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.
