1. Nancy's Hustle

    Contemporary

    Since opening in 2017, this East End bistro has commanded the city's attention with cooking that swings from spicy beef dumplings to wagyu tri-tip without hesitation or apology. The kitchen's seasonal audacity—lively, unselfconscious, rooted in butter and bold flavor—suggests a place where the menu itself refuses to choose, and neither should you.
