Cloth and Flame + CityScape 2018

Have you guys heard of Cloth and Flame? We are embarrassed to admit we hadn’t until this past January when we met them at the Arizona Bridal Show. They’re a unique concept focused on events in original places. A while back we were invited to check out their unique concept dinners in collaboration with CityScape. The idea is to work with land owners or in this case property owners in the heart of Downtown phoenix to host intimate pop up dinners. This one titled Savor on Central. We are looking forward to many more dinners coming this Fall, as the weather cools off enough for an outdoor event. Until then, here’s a recap from CityScape + Cloth and Flame’s past April event…
