Compete with your friends and neighbors for top honors, bragging rights and great prizes for the three top puzzlers. We will be using advance edition (not yet published) New York Times puzzles to test your mettle in three preliminary rounds. The three victors will go on to compete in the final round. If you never imagined crossword solving as a spectator sport, this will change your mind. Reservations may be made in advance or the day of the event. Space will be limited.
