"If you want your birthday dinner to be between you and your special someone, make a reservation at Nancy's Hustle in EaDo. Everything at the American restaurant feels suave, from the warm service, to dishes like squid ink linguine with chili butter, to the lighting that’s set to the perfect hue of amber. Celebrate yourself in the small-but-might dining room, and thank your lucky stars that you’ve lived another year in a world where you can have a moment with the buttery Nancy cakes." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
