Travinia Italian Kitchen is Now Open
If you made it to Biltmore Park Town Square for the Fall Fest in October, chances are you've been on the edge of your seat waiting for Travinia Italian Kitchen to open. Their crab cakes, pasta, and irresistible tiramisu samples were the perfect way to whet our appetites for what promises to be a major development in the Asheville restaurant scene. And Town Square is happy to let you know that your stomachs don't have to growl with anticipation any longer.
On November 2nd, Travinia Italian Kitchen opened its doors, and as the temperatures continue to drop, their steaming plates of pasta and seafood could not be more welcome. With a large space that can easily accommodate special events or just daily get-togethers with friends and family, Travinia is an ideal spot for taking a break from the stress of daily routines. After all, it is a European tradition to express your joy over food, so let's join in on the fun with some Italian cuisine.
Menu items include pappardelle with vodka sauce, small plates of seared scallops and lobster ravioli, and, of course, everyone's favorite Italian dish--pizza. But don't forget to complement your meal with an Italian wine or one of their specialty martinis. The choices are endless, but you simply can't go wrong, so take some time out of your day, enjoy a culinary journey around the world, and experience Asheville's newest restaurant in Biltmore Park.

Enjoy Asheville's Favorite Pastimes in Town Square this Weekend
If you missed Biltmore Park Town Square's Fall Fest last weekend, don't worry because there are still plenty of activities for you to enjoy, and they all showcase two of Asheville's favorite pastimes: the arts and the outdoors.
This weekend, the much-anticipated grand opening for the cooperative Echo Gallery is finally here to celebrate the arrival of six River District Artists to Town Square. This showcase of quality, local talent is a wonderful opportunity for South Asheville, and the opening reception will give visitors, whether art experts or novices, a chance to meet the people behind the craft and learn more about their work.
With light hors d'oeuvres and drinks catered by Roux, the Hilton Asheville's onsite restaurant, the event will have a fun and local focus while featuring world-class art. It is a pleasure for Town Square to host Anna Koloseike, Barbara Fisher, Susan Webb Lee, Genie Maples, Laurie McCarrier, and Lori Therault. Their work is sure to make an impression on visitors as they peruse the textiles, pottery, paintings, sculptures, and photography. And while each artist approaches their work with a different perspective and medium, all of the pieces complement one another in their displays of craftsmanship and skill. The reception is on October 23rd from 6-9 p.m.
And the art opening isn't the only event in Biltmore Park this weekend. From 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on Saturday and from 11 a.m.-5p.m. on Sunday, come out to REI in Town Square to celebrate Asheville's love of the outdoors at the Subaru Frontcountry Tour. Explore product vendors like The North Face, Coleman, Mountain House, and more, or learn about how to become a better environmental steward during a demonstration. You can also sample some food that is well-suited to your outdoor adventure needs. All of the festivities will be held in REI's parking lot. See you this weekend at Biltmore Park Town Square.

Color Your Weekend Fantastic at Fall Fest 2009
If you haven't already heard, Biltmore Park Town Square is gearing up for Fall Fest 2009, where retailers, restaurants, and entertainers will color the season fantastic with their displays and performances. A perfect outing for the whole family, the festival will feature plenty of activities for both adults and children, and with the back to school rush settling down and routines starting to take hold of our days, now is a better time than ever to spice up your weekends by getting outside with friends and family.
You may already recognize a few of the attendees as the gang from Sesame Street and Curious George. And the aromas from the food vendors will probably be familiar because they come from your favorite Asheville restaurants including Brixx Pizza, 131 MAIN Restaurant, Cold Stone Creamery, and soon to be open Travinia Italian Kitchen. The adults in the crowd will love exploring the offerings of spas, salons, boutiques, and national retailers REI and Barnes & Noble, and of course the children will find it hard to resist the moonwalk, face painting, magician, and more.
The fun starts at 11 a.m. and lasts all day until 5 p.m. But if you haven't had your fill by then, grab a bite to eat or catch a movie and stick around for a free concert by The Caribbean Cowboys that will take place from 7-9 p.m., and dance the evening away.
