Taylor Swift trivia nights continue to feel less like trivia and more like a full-scale fan convention with scorekeeping.

Some trivia nights are competitions.
Others are basically themed parties where keeping score is optional.
This Sex and the City trivia night at Slattery’s Midtown Pub definitely leans toward the second category in the best possible way.
Expect cosmopolitan references, relationship debates, fashion moments, and at least one table fully committed to the aesthetic.
Expected difficulty: Medium for casual viewers, surprisingly difficult for everyone else.

Seinfeld: The Summer of George — New York, NY
Seinfeld trivia always feels deceptively easy until the questions get weirdly specific.
This “Summer of George” themed trivia night at Slattery’s Midtown Pub sounds like exactly the kind of deeply niche sitcom event that hardcore fans absolutely love.
If your group still references Festivus or debates the best side characters, this is your moment.
Who should go:

Who is ready for Toy Story 5? I know we are.
Pixar trivia nights are sneaky.
Everyone thinks they remember the movies until the questions start asking about background toys, side characters, or tiny plot details from Toy Story 2.
This week, several Minnesota venues are hosting Toy Story themed trivia nights that should attract both nostalgic adults and very competitive Disney/Pixar fans.
Honestly, if someone yells “there’s a snake in my boot” during the game, nobody should be surprised.
