Where can you get Polish karaoke and hot morsels of killer Zapiekanki this side of Kracow? ToTu Cafe, of course, which offers karaoke on Tuesdays and DJ sets and live bands on the weekends. Music ranges from retro-'80s and disco to techno and Euro-music mixes via a fun lighting and surround-sound system. The kitchen is proud of its kebabs, red and white borscht, stews such as Hungarian goulash and beef Stroganoff. You'll also find lots of pork dishes, pierogi filled with sweet and savory ingredients and the Zapiekanki -- a sandwich found in Polish fast-food joints that consists of long, crisp bread topped with mushrooms and cheese, ham and cheese or the works.
