The Museum of Contemporary Art likes to put things delicately by referring to First Fridays as a "Happy Hour" event. You've entered Refinery29, a fib-free zone, so we're telling you why you're really going—to cruise. Word travels at breakneck speed in Chicago, and now every cute city single knows where to go on the first Friday of every month. Enjoy cocktails, art, and each other on an evening of endless possibilities. We suggest getting a ticket in advance and engaging in some careful outfit-planning. Better yet, tell us what you're wearing so no two Refinery29 readers arrive all matchy-matchy.
