2. Riders Up, Drinks Down 

And they’re off! Or at least, you should be — off to the Kentucky Derby watch party at The J. Parker, that is. Sip some Woodford Reserve Bourbon as you enjoy the 152nd Run for the Roses, and don’t forget to place your bets. Purchase a general admission ticket or a table package ranging from four to 10 people.

Desperately need to unplug, but still want to be social? Head to River North for a pop-up “analog” experience billed as Fulfillment Center, presented by Little Council. The event features coffee by Bueno Days, vinyl DJ sets by Ray Mora, and a selection of curated records from Sooper Records’ collection. Guests are welcome to hang out and chat, but materials will also be provided for those who want to draw, read, or write. May 2. thelittlecouncil.com

Gird your loins, Miranda Priestly truthers: Vintage Frills is hosting a vintage fashion show and The Devil Wears Prada screening this Sunday at the AMC in Block 37.
