Best jukebox
There's something sad about a double cheeseburger without music on the side. But repeat winner Charlie's
Kitchen, a Harvard Square cheap-eats favorite, has all the right chord condiments. Its upstairs jukebox
(there's usually a radio playing downstairs) has selections ranging from Patsy Cline to Public Enemy, and
CD soundtracks from such films as The Last Days of Disco and Trainspotting.
The new south-of-the-Charles winner is the downtown J.J. Foley's, where people pretend they're in a dive bar
even though most of the weeknight patrons are in suits. After a hard day of surfing the Web, there's no
greater pleasure than flipping through the selections on the low-tech $1 jukebox, which tilts toward classic
and alternative rock.
Charlie's Kitchen, 10 Eliot Street, Cambridge, (617) 492-9646; J.J. Foley's, 21 Kingston Street, Boston, (617) 338-7713.
