Reading through dozens of demos and the API documentation, I still
can't figure out something which I thought would be dead simple.

How can I retrieve the place names that end-users see on a specific
Google Maps tile, say in a given long/lat/radius?

E.g., in this location (40.713000, -74.010580):

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&q=40.713000,+-74.010580&vps=3&jsv=160h&sll=40.720461,-74.006588&sspn=0.003814,0.009613&ie=UTF8&geocode=FSg7bQIdLLCW-w&split=0

I would like to return the place names / POI which are:
World Trade Center
Ground Zero
The College of Insurance

That is - every place name that an end-user would see if they were to
go to Google Maps and click on that location.
No need to return street names - only place names of points-of-
interest such as the above.

I assume the API exposes this data somehow?

If someone could point to the right direction that would be great
(something more specific than "check the API" would be
appreciated.....)
