High Street Place Food Hall

Restaurant · Downtown

"Most spots on this list involve eating at the bar or a quiet little nook, but this slick food hall deserves an overall endorsement for a great solo lunch or dinner. There’s always enough seating, and you can choose from Dive Bar’s raw seafood, Pennypacker’s sandwiches, Tenderoni’s pizza and lots more — then finish your meal with a sweet treat or a cocktail from Daiquiris and Daisies." - Nathan Tavares, Tanya Edwards, Eater Staff
