My BFF and I are taking a garage rock road trip. I will be driving up from  Louisville, KY and she's coming in from Philadelphia, PA to see the New Bomb Turks on June 11 in Cleveland. We're pretty stoked, we're dying to make this our best punk rock road trip ever. Would any of you find folks point us in the way of good food, fun record stores and maybe somewhere to get a tattoo?

Wow, this is excellent! We will totally hit up these spots. LOVE!

i can help!

 

here are some good stops:

MELT: gourmet grilled cheese restaurant, the most intense you will ever eat! (one has lasagna on it - i know - nuts!) there are two locations, both close to other cool stuff.

BIG FUN: vintage toy store (where i work!) and novelty stuff, lots of fun! two locations also, the one in cleveland heights is the bigger and more fun one :)

FLOWER CHILD: awesome vintage store, could take hours to explore! is also next to the smaller of the two big funs.
