ith each issue of GRAVITAS, we host a
special dinner party to celebrate some of the
amazing women that we feature. The planned
evening allows them to enjoy a delectable
menu, stimulating conversation and great laughs.
The Birchwood, nestled in bustling downtown St. Petersburg,
features sprawling views of Tampa Bay. With five levels, two
restaurants, a grand ballroom, and a boutique hotel, the
establishment is the perfect setting for an unforgettable event.
Lauded as one of the top restaurants in the city, The Birch & Vine
at The Birchwood was the venue for our spectacular GRAVITAS
dinner party. A heartfelt thank you goes to Jasmine Cox and The
Birchwood staff for their hospitality.
