Just south of Wrigleyville and west of Boystown in Chicago, there's a strip of stores that cater to the more eclectic needs of consumers that Concord's Neo Tokyo speaks to. Located on the second floor of 8 Main Street, Tokyo targets comic lovers, video gamers with a preference for imports, and to those with a sweet tooth for Japanese candy and snacks.

In a town of mainstream stores and restaurants, it was refreshing to visit an establishment with an air of uncommon flair even if comic books and video games are admittedly not my areas of forte. It's a bit tucked away, but if you're running errands around the area Neo Tokyo is definitely worth a peruse.
