"We didn’t think it was possible to meet the restaurant version of a cashmere sweater until eating at Nancy’s Hustle. The intimate American restaurant in EaDo feels like its own little world—with lighting set to liquid gold, a suave and laid-back setting, and unique twists on classic dishes we love. The menu at Nancy’s changes seasonally, so you can always look forward to a new dish to try alongside regulars like the burger or the infinitely fluffy Nancy cakes. Once you’re settled in the cozy bubble of Nancy’s, all of your energy can be spent on the important things: devouring the cheeseburger served on an English muffin (prepare to have separation anxiety when finished) and taking the perfect selfie to commemorate the experience. If you walk in during peak dinner hours, space at Nancy’s Hustle will be pretty limited. Either commit to going for a sexy late-night dinner with someone who makes your heart sing, or try your luck at the bar or patio when they first open." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
