High Street

"High Street has baked some of the best bread in the city for over a decade. So it’s no surprise that their revamped all-day restaurant in Center City has good sourdough pizza during dinner as well as all the usual daytime pastries and sandwiches. You could come to their marble-heavy space at night and easily take down one of High Street's airy, thin-crust pies by yourself without feeling Thanksgiving levels of stuffed. High Street also makes good cocktails and seasonal American food to share, like a nicely dressed tahini caesar and a juicy roast chicken on top of schmaltzy bread that's brightened up by a side of chicories. We’ve had just as many hits as misses, though. (Brisket ragu on the rye creste di gallo is oily, and squid with braised cannellini beans and broccoli rabe needs some more fireworks or maybe just more salt.) So dominate the table with pizza, salad, and drinks, and the restaurant will be a great choice for a post-work situation or maybe dinner before a show." - Candis R. McLean
