Created by Michael Babin’s Neighborhood Restaurant Group (“NRG”), Rustico is one of Ballston’s most popular lunch and after hours locations.  NRG decided on Liberty Center when less than half of the final 2.3MM square feet had delivered, and they’ve never looked back.  Since opening Rustico here, NRG has gone onto opening Birch and Barley & ChurchKey in the 14^th Street Corridor, as well as Bluejacket located at the Navy Yard Metro in DC. .
