How fresh is lunch at Frog N Snail going to be? The ink is barely dry on the PDF we were just sent of the menu, that’s how fresh. And we have to say, it looks pretty great for lunch in Lakeview which, overall, is not one of the most adventurous things the city offers. Dale Levitski’s new more casual bistro/coffeeshop thing in Lakeview, kicks off with lunch today; dinner starts next Wednesday (tentatively), and the bakery side will get going in a couple of weeks with housemade baked goods and La Colombe coffee (Levitski’s baker had commitments which prevented him gearing up for this week). It’s at 3124 N. Broadway; look at the menu and check it out today. Or next week. Or whenever.
