The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
WHY ESSENTIAL:
Duh.
The secret:
We weren’t going to include the Gugg—too obvious as an “essential” pick—but we couldn’t pass up sharing this never-shared tidbit: Legend has it that a baby was once baptized in the lobby fountain. 1071 Fifth Ave at 89th St (212-423-3500, guggenheim.org)

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.
