Best jukebox in a coffee cup
The next-best thing to drinking coffee in your own house and picking your own music is going to the 1369
Coffeehouse (in Central Square, bigger and brighter than the original in Inman Square), where the
multi-talented staff mixes the kind of ambient radio show you can't find on the radio anymore. You might
hear anything from Rob Swift's The Ablist to some Jamaican Radio One covers of Motown to some old Dylan
bootleg track to jazz. Always familiar, but nothing you quite know, so that every few minutes you've got
to jump out of your chair to find out who that is. And more often than not, the staff's proud to tell you.
Maybe you're rediscovering something you forgot, maybe you feel like a bit of a pest, but they don't mind.
After all, they're discovering this stuff too.
1369 Coffeehouse, 757 Mass Ave, Central Square, Cambridge, (617) 576-4600.
