While I am certainly no where close to being an astrologist, I am most definitely an avid horoscope reader. Despite the heavy skepticism that typically surrounds their validity, horoscopes are still super entertaining and fun to follow (well, at least when they tell you something positive that is). Regardless, clearly the stars aligned in bringing you to this page because you’re in for a treat – I am going to tell you which of Lewisburg’s best Downtown restaurants you are based on your zodiac sign! And if you don’t like the restaurant you are, then you can just go back to not believing in horoscopes anyway 😉
Aries (March 21st- April 19th)
JR’s Soft Pretzels
Aries are known to be bold, ambitious, and motivated leaders. They prefer things to be uncomplicated and direct, making them easily frustrated by exhaustive details and unnecessary nuances. And what is more uncomplicated than a soft pretzel? A simple, yet unbelievably tasty snack that is guaranteed to satisfy every time. That’s why you, Aries, are Lewisburg’s JR’s Soft Pretzel store. A unique and refreshing addition to Market Street, this new hotspot is a force not to be reckoned with just like you
Taurus (April 20th- May 20th)
Amami Kitchen and Espresso Bar
Tauruses are very in tune with their inner diva. They know what they like and what they deserve. They are their happiest when they are being pampered and relaxing with their friends. Tauruses value consistency and dependability in all aspects of life, and find bliss frolicking amongst nature. They enjoy being surrounded by soft sounds, soothing aromas, and succulent flavors. So it’s a no brainer why you, Taurus, are Lewisburg’s Amami Kitchen and Espresso Bar! Whether it is outside on a warm Spring day, or cozied up inside during the Winter, Amami never fails to provide excellent service and delicious artisanal treats that always leave you feeling like a queen.
Gemini (May 21st- June 20th)
Sweet Frog
Gemini are playful and extremely innovative. They are always seeking new experiences and are constantly juggling a variety of passions and hobbies. The social butterflies of the signs, it can sometimes be hard to hold a Gemini’s attention for long, but once you have it, they will most certainly talk your ear off. Vibrant and full of life, the Gemini spirit parallels that of the bustling and upbeat, Sweet Frog. With a steady influx of customers young and old, and endless flavors and toppings to choose from, this frozen yogurt shop is a huge hub for mingling and catching up with friends, perfect for a Gemini
Cancer (June 21st- July 22nd)
Nido
Genuine and compassionate, Cancers are known to be the caregivers of the zodiac signs. They care deeply about family and the well-being of those they love. They make exceptional hosts as they always strive to make their guests feel comfortable and right at home. These highly intuitive and nurturing individuals are none other than Lewisburg’s warm and hospitable Nido. With a diverse menu of freshly home-made pastas and Italian-inspired delicacies, this cozy nook is a Gemini reincarnated.
Leo (July 23rd- August 22nd)
Brasserie Louis
Vivacious, and theatrical, Leos are always looking for an excuse to celebrate. They crave attention and are not ashamed to express their love for luxury and lavish parties. Leos are creative and suckers for romance, so there is no question they would find comfort at one of Lewisburg’s higher-end establishments, Brasserie Louis. Home to many date nights, and formals amongst the Bucknell community, this restaurant delivers just the experience every Leo is searching for. Exuberant yet sophisticated, you, my dear Leo, are Bras.
Virgo (August 23rd- September 22nd)
Mercado Burrito
Known to be a perfectionist by nature, Virgo’s most salient qualities include being practical, systematic, detail- oriented, and a supportive friend. For those reasons alone, that is why I am assigning you Lewisburg’s Mexican gem, Mercado Burrito! A small business with a vast selection of fresh ingredients for your belly’s delight and a meticulous assembly line- esque experience, Mercado embodies the Virgo in every way, shape, and form.
Libra (September 23rd- October 22nd)
Pizza Phi
Libras are huge people pleasers. Slightly more passive than the other zodiac signs, they are known to be problem- solvers and are considered the most trustworthy of their friends. Obsessed with balance, they are always in pursuit of harmonious relationships and avoidant of conflict. They inspire the best in anyone who crosses their path as they are effortlessly able to find the bright-side in every situation. Passionate about art and symmetry, you, Libra, are Lewisburg’s very own Pizza Phi. Encouraging endless opportunities to express your most creative side, a big, round Pizza with toppings galore is the optimal food for you. And no better place to embrace that than at Lewisburg’s very own, Pizza Phi.
Scorpio (October 23rd- November 21st)
Siam Restaurant & Bar
Scorpios are hard working, mysterious, and spiritual. They are known for their ability to entice others and persuade them into doing what they want. They have a need for control and can get slightly emotional when they don’t have it. They value loyalty in their friendships and enjoy socializing in more intimate settings. That being said, you are Siam. Siam’s Thai inspired menu is full of sweet and spicy dishes that are guaranteed to get your heart racing. Smaller in size and equipped with warm yet dim lighting, the ambiance of this incredible Lewisburg spot sets the perfect mood for you Scorpios.
Sagittarius (November 22nd- December 21st)
Bull Run Tap House
The thrill- seekers and comedians of the zodiac bunch, Sagittariuses have an insatiable thirst for intellectual stimulation and adventure. A natural talent for story- telling and a sense of humor that can light up any room, Sagittariuses are known to have no issue making new friends. With their playful and invigorating attitude, this sign is of course Lewisburg’s one and only, Bull Run Tap House. A weekly host of Trivia Night, and a popular space for young students to gather for a drink, meal, or friendly game of pool, this restaurant screams Sag.
Capricorn (December 22nd- January 19th)
Brendan’s Towne Tavern
Slightly introspective, Capricorn’s can be perceived as a little cold and reserved at first. However, once you break their shell they are undoubtedly the life of the party. Youthful and slightly mischievous at times, you, Capricorn are Brendan’s Towne Tavern. A conservative- looking establishment from the outside, don’t let this restaurant fool you. A quiet, low- key place to grab a bite by day, Townie T (it’s rowdier alter ego) turns into a hopping bar scene by night. An extremely popular location for (of age) Bucknell Students and Lewisburg’s most youthful adults, this spot undeniably reflects the secretly lively spirit of our beloved Capricorns.
Aquarius (January 20- February 18th)
All Star Bagels
While Aquariuses shouldn’t be feared, they are certainly intimidating. While they may have a reputation for being slightly aloof or headstrong, know that it comes from their drive to change the world and to heal others of any possible harm or pain. They are quirky and free- spirited and value their freedom more than anything else. That’s why you, Aquarius, are All Star Bagels- the best place to go to cure you of your inevitable Saturday morning hangover. In perfect Aquarius fashion, All Star gives you all the freedom you could ask for, providing endless tasty bagels and spreads to choose from. They even have sandwiches and muffins too!
Pisces (February 19th- March 20th)
Sushihanna
Pisces are kind- hearted, gentle, and emotional. Don’t take their kindness for weakness because they are stronger than you might think. They are devoted to any task you give them and do everything full force. They have a lust for life and knowledge and are known to have wild imaginations. You will inevitably find your fellow Pisces at their happiest when there is music and dancing. They prefer being in big groups and love experiences that can be shared. That is why Sushihanna is the perfect match for Pisces. With one of the most exhaustive and creative sushi menus I have ever seen, the sky’s the limit. Also known as a popular destination for birthday celebrations and pre-date party get togethers, this Japanese restaurant reflects everything this zodiac sign loves.
