CBH’s Brooklyn Trivia Showdown
Think you know Brooklyn history? Well, it’s time to put that to the test at CBH’s Brooklyn Trivia Showdown! From the rise of the Brooklyn Bridge to the rise of Brooklyn pizza, we’ve got the iconic moments, quirky facts, and bizarre tidbits that make this borough the cultural powerhouse it is today.
Whether you’re a true-blue native or a recent transplant still figuring out which way the G train goes, you’ll have a blast—and maybe even learn something new about the place that gave the world hipsters, Dodgers, and more bagels than you can shake a schmear at.
So get ready for an evening of trivia, laughter, and prizes, inspired by CBH’s amazing collections and hosted by trivia master Katie Uva.
Capacity is limited! Teams will be formed that night, so come solo or bring your friends. Winners leave with CBH prizes!
