NYC’s finest trivia beckons. Got the brains? Bring your friends and wrack your noodles with six rounds of clever, fun, HARD trivia. The most experienced trivia hosts in the city will test your mental mettle in areas of General Knowledge, Music, Top Tens, and Visual Identification. First Prize is a $75 bar tab, Second Prize is a $40 bar tab and Third Prize is a $15 bar tab. But the real prize (besides bragging rights for those who place, and a berth in the twice yearly finals) is the time honored social scene of the Quizz-Off crowd. Give it a try smart guy! And come early for a good table.

Jim Keller found fame after launching Tommy Tutone in the late 1970s. Despite their meteoric rise, the band was short-lived, and Keller soon found himself in the proverbial wilderness, struggling to make ends meet until he talked his way into a publishing job with famed composer Philip Glass. With a voice aged by time, and wry lyrics that examine adulthood in all its emotional complexity, Keller has the sound of someone who could have been Tom Petty’s therapist. Listen to End of the World.
