How well do you know New York City? Can you name every inlet, defunct train line, or abandoned hospital? You can, you say? Well, that's still probably not good enough to win the insanely hard, incredibly fun Panorama Challenge tomorrow night at the Queens Museum, put on by Levy's Unique New York.
The Panorama Challenge, which spreads teams around the Queens Museum's beautiful (albeit slightly outdated) replica of New York City, is now entering its 7th year of cutthroat trivia among some of the most knowledgeable and curmudgeonly New Yorkers out there. Even if you're new to the city, this is still a great event to drink a few beers and get acquainted with the more unknown aspects of the city. For the pros and returning challengers, there's a whole different set of additional questions that they will have to answer, just to even the playing field. This year's categories have a special music bent, in honor of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony that will be happening in Brooklyn this Spring. The probable answer to one of those questions? Forest Hills High School (which was attended by Simon & Garfunkel, The Ramones, Burt Bacharach, and Spider-Man).
Entrance this year is $15, with all proceeds going to the City Reliquary Museum, which specializes in NYC ephemera. There's will be a shuttle that will be running from the 7 train to the museum, as well as a performance by Batala NYC, "New York’s only all-woman Brazilian drum corps." Arrive early and you can check out the museum's beautiful new renovation.
