Hot Italian Nights ~ A Runway Hit

Evenings are great time to venture to the airport ... especially if you are not leaving town! Florentyna's restaurant located in the Pasco airport brings a history of local flavor to treat your palate, thanks to the talent of Cindy Goulet. Always of interest are the themed menus such as the current Hot Italian Nights (which is rumored to be repeated for Valentine's Day). Our selections fascinated us with flavor.

And, the crowd is fascinating too! This evening, winemaking legend Charlie Hoppes, designer of Fidelitas wines, visited tables to chat about wine and share stories of Tri Cities life. We were enchanted with the tale of his m100 wine being named in honor of his grandmother (Mary, who lived to be 100).

Food and wine, family and friends ... all are embraced in this place of coming and going. Let it be wind in your wings. Come catch the current.

Tri Cities Treasures

The Pasco airport is definitely a destination when I am headed out of or in to Tri Cities. Greeting me either way is Florentyna's offering regional flavors and refreshing savors for all travelers! There is a full restaurant in the airport (that offers catering, too!) and a snack bar once on the inside of security. I have had lattes & muffins in the morning and margaritas & nachos in the evening ~ and I have always been delighted.

Traveling and taste buds are not the only reasons to visit PSC (the airport code for Pasco) ... now there is another inspiration to swing by ~ finding local treasures to treat one another, here or there, with the finest gifts from the Tri Cities area. The goodies are all displayed neatly in the River News & Gifts store presented by Florentyna's. My personal favorite, of course, the t-shirts! Eat My Dust, Drink My Wine © ... and Atomically Correct © tell a tale of Tri Cities spirit and culture. Get one on. And, grab a mug, some sassy Blue Q gum, Chukar Cherries, plus MadHatter Munchies for the road! Remember to get a good book or magazine, too!

Put together your own gift selection to capture the current running through Tri Cities ... Pass it on!
