High Street on Market

Top choice in Philadelphia


Many Philadelphians swear by High Street's delicious house-made breads and will come here for those alone. They certainly have a creative way with a breakfast or lunch sandwich, salad and soup, too. It's a cozy place, so you're likely to find yourself either sharing a table or waiting a while for a spot.

At dinner you have the option of leaving it to the kitchen to decide on a selection of plates ($55). Fork next door is under the same management.
