High Five is a collaborative effort to create a national identity for Columbus, Ohio by linking the five most distinct districts along five miles of historic High Street.[1][2] The High Five includes over 150 restaurants, 200 shops, 40 art galleries and 50 event venues, and extends north to Arcadia Street and south to Thurman Avenue. It is one of the only locations in the nation in which such a distinct variety of neighborhoods can be found in such a close vicinity.
