Cornelia Street Café
WHY ESSENTIAL:
You could walk by Cornelia Street Café and mistake it for one of the myriad touristy eateries in the West Village, but down in the restaurant’s basement, the music, from adventurous jazz and classical music to folksy singer-songwriters, is often a reminder that the neighborhood was once a haven for the downtown counterculture.
The secret:
Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker had their first date here. 29 Cornelia Street between Bleecker and W 4th Sts (212-989-9319)

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.
