Do your friends not appreciate your extremely helpful and entertaining fact-dumping from hours of Wikipedia rabbit holes? Are you feeling burdened with the great and terrible knowledge of every Tarantino needle drop, river in Mexico, type of cheese, or pickleball league? Galaxy brain weighing you down? Well lucky for you, the best listening room in the city doubles as a trivia spot every Monday. This one’s general knowledge, though they’ve been known to do specific nights like April 8’s eclipse-themed Twilight Saga trivia. Either way, it’s free to play – registration opens at 6, games begin at 7, and you can bring a team of up to six or just yourself. – Lina Fisher

Black Americans built much of this country’s wealth, and that’s true in a literal sense – before 1860, enslaved Africans physically built our nation’s cities, roads, railroads, and ports. Their free labor on cotton, sugar, and rice plantations made white landowners enormously wealthy. The exploitation did not stop after the Civil War. A century and a half later, a wealth gap persists between Black and white Americans.
