Carry Out Sam Sessa gave me a timely tip yesterday. Gemini (710 S. Broadway) in Fells Point has closed, and Sam kindly wrote down the names of the new owners listed on the Liquor Board notice for me.

The new place will be named Alexander's Tavern, and according to the Liquor Board, it will be expanding into 712 S. Broadway.

What caught my eye was that one of the names on the notice was Charlie Gjerde's. That's Charlie of the late, lamented Spike & Charlie's, along with several other restaurants.

I called his brother Spike Gjerde at his newest venture, Artifact Coffee in Hampden, to get Charlie Gjerde's cell phone number. While I was at it, I asked about Woodberry Kitchen, Spike's farm-to-table restaurant that will be opening next door.

Spike Gjerde said, "It's looking beautiful. I'm not allowed to give an exact date of when we'll be open, so I'll say by the end of summer."

Meanwhile I only got a voicemail when I called Charlie Gjerde's cell. I'll keep you posted if and when he calls back.

By the way, that's the now-closed Gemini in the photo. I think I had dinner at that second-floor table, and I liked looking out the window while I ate.
