Why: The New-York Historical Society is celebrating Presidents Day by not only opening its doors on Monday, February 16, but hosting a special multimedia holiday edition of the Big Quiz Thing. “The Live Game Show Spectacular,” which has spread to L.A., Boston, and Chicago, was created in 2002 by Noah Tarnow, the self-proclaimed “Official Quizmaster of New York City.” Study up on those heads of state if you want to impress your friends and win prizes, but keep an eye out for such teams as 88 Lines of Coke for 44 Presidents, Jean-Claude Van Damme We’re Good at Trivia, and Rick Santorum and the Eurythmics, as well as a surprise guest quizmaster. The festivities will take place in the library, and every ticket comes with two drinks. Future Big Quiz Things include an Oscar-themed battle and screening on February 22 at (le) poisson rouge and the Brooklyn Brain Jam on March 15 at Littlefield.
