I recently moved to New York from Philadelphia, and while I'm happy to leave much of my Philly life behind, I very much miss Quizzo, a great bar trivia game that at least a dozen bars would have going on any given night across the city. I've tried looking for different trivia replacements in New York, but found very little. Am I doomed to nights at home with my Trivial Pursuit board?
Our favorite trivia night in the city is Noah Tarnow's Big Quiz Thing which happens every other Monday at the Slipper Room and once a month at Happy Ending Lounge. The next Big Quiz Thing is scheduled for February 7th at the aforementioned Slipper Room.
For more behind-the-scenes info on the Big Quiz Thing, check out Gothamist's interview with Noah Tarnow.

Bar Matchless in Greenpoint has a good one on Tuesday night that includes free tacos.
Buttermilk in Park Slope runs a Dr. Facts Trivia Night the 2nd Monday of every month. One trivia task was to name songs from abbreviated melody lines played by Scott, the neighborhood accordianist.
pete's candy store in williamsburg has a great - and really challenging - quiz on wednesdays. the hosts change week to week, so there's variety.
Rocky Sullivan's (Murray Hill) does one every Thursday that's a lot of fun in limited doses -- the questions are often really, really hard, but both they and the quizmaster's jokes are repeated fairly often.
BQT is still the best I've been to.
Patio in Park Slope (on 5th ave and Sackett) has Quizzo with a good range of question topics every other Tuesday night at 9.
The best trivia by far in the city is every Tuesday night at Duke's on 19th and Park Ave.
The guy who host is absolutely hysterical, and brings a fun new way of pub trivia that destroys the regular boring impossible games that are only good for those who no what a protractor is good for.
Duke's Trivia is more fun because it every question has its own theme music and their are more pop culture oriented questions that are good for everyone. Plus the sound effects and movie clips make you feel like you are in a real game show.
If you are looking for an alternative to the boring pub trivia nights go to Duke's every Tuesday at 8pm on 19th and Park Ave.
