You know how the saying goes;  April showers brings May flowers. We Washingtonians know that April showers may very well bring just, well, more showers. But lucky for us, we not only get showers in May, but fresh produce, baked goods and live music.

May 5 marks the opening day of the Tacoma Farmer’s Market. Located just a few blocks from the Murano, on Broadway between 9^th and 11^th, the Market boasts some pretty amazing treats (my mouth is watering just thinking about Paprika’s Catering signature dish—smoky chicken in a paprika cream sauce over homemade noodles). This outdoor mecca of deliciousness and all things local and homemade is also home to coffee roasters, soap-makers, corn-on-the-cob grillers, and mini-donut fryers. Spending a day filled with food, friends, local vendors, and live music is the perfect way to experience Tacoma, if you ask me.

See ya soon,

Is it just me, or is it the time of year for a little pick-me-up? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have much to complain about (a beautiful wife, a great job, and I live in one of the most beautiful parts of the country), but sometimes I’m tempted to indulge in some of the services that Murano’s in-house spa, the Savi Day Spa, offers.

Right now at Murano, letting yourself rejuvenate is pretty easy to accomplish. Relaxation is epitomized in the Spa La La package that we offer –you and a guest will be treated to a tour of glass art from around the world, massages, facials, and and in-spa lunch. Art and massages? Could it get much better? This package is perfect for honeymooners, business people, or a couple of friends simply looking to kick back. Murano sure does make that refreshment pretty appealing.

See ya soon,

Dale
