People in the New York area who love death or appreciate spectacle, no matter the form, can walk through Times Square past the Port Authority Bus Terminal, past 9th Avenue and its somewhat fake-looking rectories, and wind up at the Acorn Theatre, which is basically a series of well-kept stairwells and a 200-seat auditorium.

Since the days when Fiorello H. La Guardia was mayor and Franklin D. Roosevelt was president, it has been a well-kept secret of New York City — to people, if not to migrating birds, the occasional wandering coyote and annoying, invasive plants like wisteria: a four-acre peninsula in Central Park that the groundskeepers did not bother with and that was off limits to the public.

The same night, when I cooked for her and my friends, it was still her that stole the show, arriving at the table with fresh plates of aloo chat: fried potato patties drizzled with chutneys made from anise and mint, her source a well-kept, enviable secret that she bragged about as she bustled around the room sending my friends into cackles with imitations of us smoking cigarettes as teenagers.

A weather-checking, text-displaying block of wood released by the Japanese touch-sensor company Nissha last year is, apparently, at home only when it's hung in a room so well-kept you can set a full French press directly on top of the freshly made, platform-raised bed, trusting that gravity would never be so rude as to allow a drop of coffee to hit the spotless comforter.

The museum cafe was closed for renovations, and we ended up instead buying burgers from a stand outside the city walls, beyond the stately but unpeopled Howard Gardens (fashioned from the city's former moat) in a municipal park of a kind familiar to me from my childhood in Sydney, Australia: It's a British convention, the manicured open space with a green kiosk selling snacks and a separate structure housing well-kept public loos.

One not-so-well-kept secret on the puzzle-making side of the business is that your favorite puzzle makers may have learned their trade from a more experienced constructor (Full disclosure: I owe my career to Nancy Salomon, who was incredibly patient with me as I learned the ropes.) Mentors are published constructors who give generously of their time and teach new constructors how to polish a theme, what good fill looks like and how to write clues.

Here's the real living room: But it looked much different in the "Chamber of Secrets" set: The newly renovated kitchen has modern appliances and sleek counter tops: But the Dursley's kitchen was styled in a more "comfy-country" '90s aesthetic: One of the bedrooms in the real home looks like a cheerful and sunny child's room: This is significantly less drab than Harry's bedroom built on set: The Dursley's would be impressed with the well-kept lawn in the backyard of the house: Pristine lawns were a defining feature of the fictional Privet Drive: The real three bedroom home will surely be occupied by a Muggle family in short time — let's just hope they're a kinder lot than the Dursleys.
