Wiseguy: Middletown lounge The Shadow Room is hosting a sitdown with Henry Hill, a former associate of the Lucchese crime family whose troubled life was immortalized in the 1990 Scorsese-directed mob classic Goodfellas. Hill was a real piece of work, involved in armed robbery, drug dealing, theft, extortion, loansharking, game-fixing, bookmaking and nearly every other felony on the books. He later entered the Witness Protection Program and was booted for non-compliance. He'll host a roundtable Q&A, pose for photos, sign autographs and lead a whiskey tasting and cigar session. Hill's a notoriously heavy drinker and people are fired up about his one. Should be wild. Tickets are $40. 7 p.m.
