BA's Andrew Knowlton and Scarpetta chef Scott Conant at D.O.C.G. Handsome devils!
It's no secret that our very own Bon Appetit restaurants & drinks editor Andrew Knowlton knows a thing or two about eating and drinking, so it makes sense that he'd host Uptown/Downtown, a bar crawl of sorts that went down yesterday at Vegas Uncork'd. Along for the ride was
Scott Conant, Chopped judge and owner of Vegas spots D.O.C.G. and Scarpetta. And, of course, about 60 strangers ready to throw back a few cocktails. Click through the slide show below to retrace their steps through The Cosmopolitan hotel, starting with pizza and bites at D.O.C.G. followed by three (!) bar stops. Pace yourself. --Matt Duckor

Semolina pasta with sausage and porcini mushrooms at D.O.C.G. Carb overload.
Bond at The Cosmopolitan. Makes us want to watch this.

Crawl co-host Scott Conant says, "CHEERS." Dude looks sophisticated in those glasses, right, ladies?
Not sure who decided that making a group of drunk people walk up a spiral staircase was a good idea.
Oh, hey, it's Mix-Off winner Mariena Mercer at the Chandelier Bar.
Mercer didn't make her Mix-Off-winning High Tea cocktail; she served up this sweet coconut-ginger number instead.
The Dutch Rose cocktail at Vesper Bar: Nolet's Silver Dry Gin, Domaine de Canton, grenadine, lemon juice, and apple juice.
