You wouldn’t expect to find part of a celebrated Sistine Chapel masterpiece on the bathroom ceiling of a quirky Grand Central District sandwich shop… or, yeah, maybe you would. Look up while you’re on the can at Pom Pom’s Teahouse & Sandwicheria and you’ll discover the hands of God and Adam, from Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam, mounted in a gold frame above you. The chandelier dangling below the painting adds to the room’s kinda-weird-but-we’re-OK-with-it majesty. Our tushes approve. 2950 Central Ave., St. Petersburg, 727-873-6992, pompomsstpete.com
