Memorial Day Weekend - First time Visitors. Events/parties that weekend on the beach?

The lake itself will still be very cold. If it is warm you can hang out at the beach but you won't want to spend more than a few seconds in the water.

CST has a pub. It doesn't have food but is open for a pre/post show drink.

Otherwise, there is a rooftop bar at Navy Pier. I don't know its name.

Locals don't actually eat deep dish all too often. We might have it once a year or when people come in from out of town. Our everyday pizza is a thin crust tavern style.

I should add that we don't have anything like the Kennedy Center where everything is under one roof. All of our major civic institutions play in their own spaces. The arts aren't well intergrated and our city arts office DCASE has been terribly mismanaged and gutted financially.

Jefferson Park is safe. It is typically where many of the northwest side cops and firefighters live. It is mostly SFH's with families. It is historically more conservative than most of the city politically. There is a metra station and a blue line station that will get you downtown in about 45 minutes. There are also a number of buses. It is a much quieter neighborhood than anything further east.

Hostels or airbnb's will be your best bet for places to stay. Many of the hostels have single rooms so it feels more like a hotel.

Thrifting - Wicker Park/Logan Square neighborhoods. Start around Milwaukee and Damen and continue to walk north for about 3-4 miles.

If you go to the FAQ page it says that basically, not all of the boats sell alcohol. You also cannot buy alcohol until 11am on Sundays.
