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 - we DO NOT take reservations.

"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race." If you need a reminder of how human you are, join us for an open mic poetry night on the first Friday of every month. We can sound our barbaric yawps over the rooftops of the world (or just in Pete's back room). All are welcome! Tune in, turn on, and drop dead.
