"We love Focal Point (the LIC brewery formerly known as ICONYC) both for its very good beer—one pitcher of Lens Flare, please—and for its very good outdoor seating options. There’s a covered and heated patio next to the taproom, which also opens onto a spacious plaza filled with plenty of picnic tables. It's out here that you'll find a large glacial rock of mysterious origin, which adults, kids, and dogs alike all enjoy standing on, for no particular reason. (Compelled by an ancient, powerful force beyond our understanding? Probably.)" - neha talreja, bryan kim, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick
