Essential secrets
What the guidebooks won’t tell you
Cielo
WHY ESSENTIAL:
It has one of the richest, warmest sound systems in NYC, and hosts some of the city’s—and the world’s—best DJs. And despite the club’s bottle-service tables and somewhat exaggerated reputation for a snotty door policy, Cielo is actually a relative chill spot to dance to those top-notch spinners.
The secret:
Why is this joint’s sound so good? The folks behind the audio equipment, Sound Investment, have a top-secret sound processor devised by a team called Divine-Lab. Although they can’t give away too many details (for fear of copycats), they can say that “the software that we wrote is customized to the size, shape and acoustical characteristics of the room,” according to tech dude Daniel Ange. It’s customized to work best with uncompressed MP3s, which the finest DJs use. “When you’re on the dance floor you can actually start to hear notes, and sounds take on a third dimension,” says Ange. “A cocktail or two doesn’t hurt as well, so…” 18 Little W 12th St between Ninth Ave and Washington St (212-645-5700)

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.
