The weekend would like to solve the puzzle.
QUIZ SHOW
Trivia Theatre in Cambridge
For those who love random facts—or drinking—there is a colossal game of trivia going down in
Cambridge tonight at 8pm. A hit in New York, Big Quiz Thing features topics like "The Bipolar Movie
Challenge" (we're as clueless about what this means as you are), points for the most smart-ass wrong answers
and cocktail breaks. Grand prize is $200.
- 411:
- Jan 28, 8pm, $10, Club Oberon, 2 Arrow St, 866-811-4111, tickets here
BUBBLY
Monster Champagne Tasting
The only Boston stop of the esteemed Tour de Champagne lands at the Charles on Saturday, with over 20
different houses of bubbly to sample from, live jazz at the Regattabar, passed desserts from the hotel and
even a cognac tasting to cap off the night. Next-day headache very possible.
- 411:
- Jan 30, 7-10pm, $115-150, Charles Hotel, 1 Bennett St, 617-661-5096, tickets here
CRAWL
Take Your Snuggie to the Pub
The Snuggie's reign as a cultural flash point is worn out, but if you're down for cheap drinks and prizes
from the likes of Open Bike, the Grand and others, there's a Snuggie pub crawl through Somerville on
Saturday. Compete in a slew of Snuggie-related contests like Snuggie Limbo and Best Snuggie Pirate, or just
look goofy while you booze.
- 411:
- Jan 30, 8-11pm, $5, starts at The Independent, 75 Union Sq, 617-440-6022
SHUCKS
All the Oysters You Can Eat
Somehow, January has just flown by, and it seems strangely fitting to kiss the month good-bye with an
all-you-can-eat Island Creek oyster Sunday at Sel de la Terre. They'll shuck as you devour as many as you
can handle, while salted porcine meats will be passed around to top it off.
- 411:
- Jan 31, 7-10pm, $22, Sel de la Terre, 774 Boylston St, 617-266-8800
GOOD BURGER
Eating 10 of Boston's Finest Burgers
There's hardly a reason to ever look forward to Monday, but this week may be the exception. That's because
this Monday night at KO Prime, you get to eat 10 of the city's finest burgers and decide which is best.
(Participating restos include Toro, Blue Ginger and Radius.) We recommend the same test for french fries
next Monday.
