What's Your Sign?

Gemini Bistro Opens

Today’s horoscope: Be mindful of your appetite. The planets are moving into Gemini, Lincoln Park’s new bistro.

Tomorrow: Familiarize yourself with chef Jason Paskewitz (SushiSamba Rio, Wave). Mars in cancer suggests it’s time to give your stomach what it deserves: classic, French-influenced American food.

Weekly: Stretch your paycheck to allow for hangar steak frites or veal scaloppine. Kick your social life into gear; invite friends to share the whole roast chicken (serves between two and four). Mercury turns retrograde soon, so stick to two lychee martinis or organic, biodynamic wines. Indulge the house of your sweet tooth with a chocolate chip cookie skillet, baked to order.

Weekend: Boost your energy with brunch staples like crab cake Benedict or steak and eggs.

Monthly: Be aware of seasonally changing menus. Stay grounded by becoming a regular.

Gemini Bistro, 2075 North Lincoln Avenue, at Dickens Avenue (773-525-2522 or geminibistrochicago.com).
