Planning the event was super easy and the staff was very helpful. The crowd was intrigued by the idea of trivia during dinner. The Big Quiz Thing is a great addition to any party and/or crowd. It was a great way to entertain a group of hungry adults. It forced people to have a conversation and build some sort of connection through team building activities.

She was even familiar with the venue I was using and was able to provide specific A/V advice and guidance.

The difficulty level was perfect and everyone participating had an amazing time. Everything took place seamlessly during the event - our host, Jude, was so professional, prepared, and helpful. She even paused for cake and took a group photo for us! The time flew and I am already plotting out what my next excuse for a trivia party will be :)

Back when games were in person, you could find an NYC Trivia League game on any day of the week in multiple areas--the hosts are friendly and fun and the questions are challenging and diverse (from Shakespeare to Real Housewives)! They even have league standings and playoffs! How cool!!! What has been even more amazing is their tenacity through these really challenging COVID times. NYC Trivia League has kept me sane with quizzes 3-4 times per week that are absolutely FREE! What a wonderful organization for giving us something to do and a way to virtually gather our friends together. I recently hired them for a private virtual birthday trivia event and it was an AMAZING time! Friends joined from all over the country and were so impressed at how well run the game was and how incredibly fun! They even tailored so many questions to my favorite things--I CANNOT RECOMMEND THEM MORE! Please support this amazing organization virtually and when they are back in bars!

I sort of expected to walk into this bar and still see a sea of twentysomethings the way I remember it in my day, but was happy to see a mix of older folks along with younger people enjoying their Thursday night out. Some upgrades that seemed new to me (but hey, there are a lot of things I don't remember) are huge TVs that are really high-res for prime sports watching, and booths that look like they may have actually been updated in the last decade or so since I've been here. The place still smells like chicken wings, which I appreciated. My Tito's and soda ran me around $15, but I was also so happy to see a promotion going around of free green tea whiskey drinks!? All we had to do was pose for a photo with one.

I've not been drinking so I was good to drive. Cutting down to the FDR I spotted this place and found a spot right on the block. I went in and was greeted by a friendly Irish waitress. Who sat me at great table. I ordered a seltzer with lots of cut lemon. The steak sandwich looked great with mixed vegetables. The crowd was very eclectic. An older neighborhood crew at the bar and younger people having a blast at a table. The food came and it was delicious comfort food. The steak was tender and tasty with mushrooms, onions and brown gravy on delicious hard bread. The veggies. Mostly broccoli were seasoned perfectly and tender but not overdone. There is a sign mentioning Sergeant Alvin York, the famous World War I hero who captured over 120 Germans after storming a machine gun nest and entrenched enemy single handedly. That's who the place is named after. Overall a cozy Irish bar and grill, reminding me of places I knew in the Bronx growing up.

The flatbread is crispy and is full of delicious flavor in every bite, which is honestly why I wanted to get it again. I also ended up ordering the potato wedges, which were perfectly seasoned, crisp on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside. We went today and arrived around 11:50am. We wanted to sit outside, and luckily there were lots of available seats. Since we were a party of 5, we were able to pull two tables together easily, and we were brought water soon after. The waitstaff are all very sweet and attentive. It does have times when it gets crowded, which is something to look out for. They have a somewhat limited menu, with only a few vegetarian options I can eat. I'm just happy there's something as delicious as the flatbread that I know can be my go-to! Next time I come, I'd love to try another one of their mixed drinks, because they do that really well. Would definitely recommend!

On a weekend afternoon, Focal Point Beer Co, formerly IcoNYC in LIC was a mixed crowd of Manhattan…read morefinance-type overflow, local artists and their crews, young families with small children eeking out a chill vibe before kids' schedules consume their lives, Astoria hipsters, your nearby pickleball league hanging out post-game, cliques of single-and-ready-to-mingle college students before everyone is off and away for the summer. By all means it was a pleasant evening so everyone and their third cousin's brother-in-law was ready for an (almost) summer beer. My friends and I arrived around 6pm and the tables inside and out were packed, and that says a lot since there's seating for around 150 people counting the family-style, picnic tables and benches. The industrial chic inside spaciously fits a long cement bar seating about 10 bar chairs comfortably, and what looks to be about a dozen beers on tap on the wall behind the bar. We managed to find a few outdoor benches to squat with our bags and took turns grabbing drinks and food. They're strictly a brewery so no food is available directly from Focal Point, you can BYO Food from other food spots, bring a picnic, or grab something from food trucks if nearby. But beer, BEER they have a lot of, and it's darn tasty. The staff at the bar were friendly and quick to get my order to me. While I only had a small pour of the ILL Niño 7oz $5 (also comes in 16oz $9 / 23oz $11 / 64oz $32) it was a refreshing, medium-bodied lager--citrusy and a perfect complement to the warm weather and sunset breeze. Definitely recommend as an easy, low-key spot to hang with some friends. Will be back to try some other beers!
