Tommy’s Rock & Roll Café
Located at the edge of Ukrainian Village, Tommy’s is hands-down the most rawkin’ guitar store in town. So grab a doughnut or a Polish sausage at the tiny front café, then strum (after you wash your hands!) the vintage axes in all their polka-dotted, snake-skinned, heart-shaped and Darth Vader-painted glory. Elvis impersonator photos, letters from Tom Petty, big-ass amps and a whole lot of handcuffs ratchet up the entertainment.
