A Night for New York Know-It-Alls at Queens Museum on March 7th

Knowledge is power — and it can lead to geek glory at the Queens Museum. The recently renovated Flushing Meadows-Corona Park institution will host a geographical, trivia-based game night at its fabled Panorama of the City of New York (above) on March 7th. Dubbed “The Panorama Challenge,” this friendly contest will be heavy on questions about city landmarks, bridges, neighborhoods and parks. Levy’s Unique New York representatives will pinpoint locations with laser pointers, and participating teams (which can have as many as 10 members) will try to identify the most locations. The winning squad will have its name etched on a trophy (and enter into urban legend, of course). During the first intermission, teams will be able to get extra credit during a special music quiz in honor of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Brooklyn in April. And post-quiz, Batala NYC (below), an all-woman Brazilian drum corps, will provide an electrifying performance.

Details: Panorama Challenge, Queens Museum, Flushing Meadows-Corona Park (a free shuttle will run to and from the Mets-Willets Point 7 train station), March 7th, 7 pm to 10 pm, $15, includes a Brooklyn Brewery beer, sandwiches and snacks; plus the event raises funds for the City Reliquary Museum.
