Use your brain tonight

Test your music smarts at the Bell House's monthly music trivia night, Outsmarted, returning tonight to the Gowanus venue.

This month, Dave Hill joins the festivities, and as usual, the night is hosted by Conrad of Takka Takka.

It all starts at 8 p.m. at the Bell House (149 7th St.). It's free, with the opportunity to win stuff.

Feel like you need to do some learning tonight instead?

Over at Union Hall, Adult Education presents a lecture series on urban travel.

Hear from designer Eddie Jabbour on improving the NYC subway map, Suzanne Reisman, author of "Take the A Train," on the line's hidden treasures, Matt Muro, author of "The Passive-Aggressive Turd From the Suburbs," and Cully Long, whom you may have seen sketching away at a sleeping or zone out passenger on the subway, talking about "Underground Life Drawing."

It's all hosted by Charles Star and starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets $5. Union Hall is located at 702 Union Street.
