The Gemenid meteor shower generally radiates from the constellation Gemini, which is visible roughly from the northeast after sunset. However, most meteor showers do not peak until after midnight, and it doesn't really matter which direction you look.
For best viewing conditions, go out into the country, as city lights make it difficult to see any but the brightest meteors. Lay down and look up. The Gemenids are an "iffy" sort of meteor shower in the northern hemisphere, because of the typically inclement weather.
