@highstreetphl isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a Philly staple. What started as a humble extension of Fork (@forkrestaurant), the legendary spot from restaurateur Ellen Yin (@therealellenyin), quickly took on a life of its own. Since opening in 2013 in Old City, it has grown into a full-service restaurant and bakery that celebrates locally sourced grains, seasonal produce, and thoughtfully crafted dishes. Now in Washington Square West, High Street continues to push the boundaries of what a neighborhood spot can be.At the heart of it all is Executive Chef Christina McKeough (@chrimckeough), whose passion for seasonal cooking and regional ingredients is woven into every dish. From wood-fired sourdough pizzas and house-made pastas to freshly baked breads and inventive vegetable dishes, her menu is a reflection of the region’s rich agricultural landscape and the farmers behind it. No matter when you stop by, every bite tells a story of local love. Beyond the food, High Street has built real community. From its roots to its current location, it has remained a place where good food and good people come together, always evolving with the city it calls home. If you haven’t been yet, consider this your sign. Captured on #InstaxLiPlay

Come with us to Chicago’s iconic Chinatown for a food-filled Lunar New Year celebration!In addition to traditions like deep cleaning the house beforehand or gifting red envelopes full of crisp cash, food plays a huge role in Lunar New Year festivities. So we hit two local gems: Ken Kee and Lao Sze Chuan to take part.Our first stop, Ken Kee, is a foodie hotspot, where culture meets cool. Its colorful decor pays homage to authentic Chinese culture. We feasted on dumplings and “long noodles,” a Lunar New Year staple symbolizing longevity.At Lao Sze Chuan, the minimalist vibe gave way to bold, authentic flavors. We started with jasmine tea and cabbage for wealth, then dove into their incredible whole fish—representing prosperity and harmony.Chinatown is a cultural staple in Chicago that left us with full stomachs today, and hopefully full wallets this year. Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate!
