"A downtown food hall and event space serving as the festival’s central hub, hosting everything from a panel on queer identity in food photography and storytelling (featuring pastry chef and author Justin Burke alongside photographer Brian Samuels and stylist Catrine Kelty) to two days of a grand tasting party—an all-you-can-enjoy block-party-style celebration with dozens of chefs, mixologists, DJs, drag pop-ups, authors, influencers, and a raucous drag brunch edition that emphasizes queer hospitality, visibility, and joy." - Nathan Tavares
"A downtown Boston food hall will host the grand-tasting main event of a returning week-long food festival celebrating LGBTQIA+ culinary talent, running April 28 to May 4.

"I’ve followed coverage of the downtown High Street Place food hall closely — it’s the forthcoming food hall sited between 160 Federal St. and 100 High St. — and reporting around its opening has varied, with it described as set to open in early 2020 in some pieces and later as debuting in March 2022. The project is meant to house about 20 vendors and has been announced as the future home for at least one pastry storefront (Lionheart Confections)." - Eater Staff
"High Street Place Food Hall is one of the most convenient places to grab a bite before or after a Patriots game, and one of the coolest. Far from a cookie-cutter commissary, HSP is an impressive space packed with diverse vendors, heated patios, and a towering courtyard with massive screens for catching the pre-game show." - Adam H. Callaghan
"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
