Join us for Uptown's newest event! The Uptown Spud-Down is a neighborhood-wide food crawl celebrating all things potato - from gnocchi and global bites to potato donuts, cocktails, and more. In addition to the spuds, we're also adding some suds into the mix with beer tastings along the way.
During this event, attendees will walk from stop to stop, sampling creative, potato-inspired bites from some of Uptown’s most beloved restaurants, bars, and hidden gems. Along the way, discover new spots, revisit old favorites, and experience the incredible diversity that defines Uptown’s food scene.
