evil aliens. So
tonight’s pick is the
1996 animated classic
“Space Jam,” screening
at the Syndicated
cinema and bar for
some reason. Enjoy.

(40 Bogart St. at Thames
Street in Bushwick, www.

High horse
Dress up fancy and
pretend to be a
Southern belle or a
Kentucky Colonel,
sipping mint juleps
while waiting to see if
your favorite equine
wins the Kentucky
Derby. The forecast
calls for rain, so we
suggest watching at
underground bar
Understudy, which
will broadcast the
race and serve classic
juleps, along with
basil and pineapple
variants.
2:30 p.m. at Understudy
(445 Albee Square West,
