What's on the iPods of Local Restaurants?

We scroll through the playlists.

By Todd Kliman ,    Ann Limpert ,    Cynthia Hacinli    Published Tuesday, November 01, 2005

These days a restaurant's mood music likely emanates from a house iPod. Figuring that one kind of taste is a pretty good reflection of another, we tuned into the top five songs at a few local restaurants.

Jackie's

Owner Jackie Greenbaum confesses to a "total obsession" with her iPod, which floods her retro-themed Silver Spring cafe with everything from bossa nova to Re-Re.

2. "Sweet Sweet Baby Since You've Been Gone" (Aretha Franklin)

3. "Simplesmente" (Bebel Gilberto)

4. "Surfing on a Rocket" (Air)

5. "Alpha Beta Gaga" (Air)

3. "All My Life" (K-Ci and JoJo)

4. "Supersonic" (Jamiroquai)

5. "Destitute Illusion" (Jamiroquai)

Komi

The cooking at 26-year-old chef Johnny Monis's Dupont Circle foodie destination is as serious as it is eclectic--no wonder the young staff couldn't resist slipping some indie-pop into the rotation of jazz.

2. "Elevator Love Letter" (Stars)

3. "This Charming Man" (The Smiths)

4. "The Lady Is a Tramp" (Frank Sinatra)
