At High Street on Hudson, Prime Time Starts Early in the West Village

Does this mean Eli Kulp is doing well enough to cook? Something I read only a few months after the accident made it sound like Mr. Kulp wouldn't be able to cook again. I'm pleased to hear Eli Kulp is doing well.

Great to see Eli doing better after that terrible train wreck. And a Philly-inspired restaurant getting noticed in NYC! "High Street on Market" in Philly is a lovely place, and next door, Eli and Ellen's "Fork" is even better (one of Philly's very best).

I sure have to disagree about the concept of being open all day and night -- this has been practiced for many years by restaurants that are situated in hotels, and the results are understandably underwhelming?

Have eaten at both High Street locations, Philly and New York.
There are two dishes on the menu that are all-time, do-not-miss, classics: The duck meatball sub (with liver and onions !/? - not sure who came up with that combination but it really works) and the bucatini with lobster bottarga (maybe the best pasta dish ever.
Nice to see New York enjoying a Philly creation.
All the best to Eli

"....with a whole chicken for $48."

Seriously?

Jesus Buddha?!! I will never think of grilled cheese the same way again.

Pete Wells is spot on, again.

This place rocks, even if I haven't had the mock risotto. I've never been for lunch, only breakfast and dinner, and it is wonderful.

And who knew a reason to love Philly would come in the form of a black bialy?

Say what? Their sandwiches are AMAZING. Admittedly I eat them in Philly and have, multiple times a week for the past two years. All I can think is that the meat and cheese are from a different supplier in NY, because that is the best grilled cheese (and the pastrami is killer).

I have eaten so many meals at High Street on Market I've lost count. The food is always remarkable for its creativity and flavor. I have almost never had a dish that wasn't excellent from bread to dessert. I'm personally very excited to try the NY location.

As a lunch regular at High Street in Philly, I cannot believe the pastrami and grilled cheese are called out for being the low points of the menu! My only thought is that they could have a different supplier for both the meat and cheese at the New York location, because they are, and always have been, killer in Philly.

I look forward to eating at the NY location, if only to experience the differences from the Philly menu. I've had the tasting menu at dinner a few times now, and I can't say I've ever tasted a miss.

I'm curious to try the sunflower seed mock risotto, but I suspect very few people would benefit from a large portion. A cup of unadorned sunflower seeds has over 800 calories, and 72 grams of fat. I'm not generally a calorie-counter, but eating nuts and seeds by the cup doesn't seem advisable.
