Nancy’s Hustle’s Curbside Menu Impresses Restaurant Critic
From a gin cocktail called the Electric Cucumber to the Mediterranean mixed-grill dinner, Nancy’s Hustle provided Alison Cook with a curbside pick up experience that lasted for days. In return, Alison wrote about her breathtaking marathon of flavor for the Houston Chronicle.
The BakerRipley COVID-19 Rental Assistance Program

Local Business Love
Though their business was originally focused on teaching in-person dumpling classes, when the pandemic hit, the Dumpling Dudez pivoted to selling frozen dumplings. Stock up every Monday morning when ordering opens for the week—and be warned, they sell out FAST. Additionally, the innovative dumpling duo offers a pairing experience with frosty brews from St. Arnold Brewing Company AND is planning to launch a virtual class in mid-September, which will include a dumpling DIY box (rainbow dough, filling, and rollers).
It’s never too hot for a tasty cocktail—especially when it’s a boozy snow cone. One of EaDo’s destination bars, East End Hardware at 3005 Leeland Street, was featured in a three minute YouTube video produced by the #MoveMeToTX team at Coldwell Banker. East End Hardware is open for curbside pickup only. Calling in your cocktails, lunch, and dinner orders (713-497-5868) is preferred.
Walk-up and online ordering is still available daily at the city’s best poke spot. Located at 2118 Lamar Street, SeaSide’s bowls include sustainably caught fish and produce sourced from Texas farms. Choose from a slate of signature bowls or build your own. Vegetarian, vegan and kid’s options are also available.
