A strong month at The Mob Museum, with three compelling speaker events, a new bourbon release, and live music all month at The Underground.
The Westies: New York’s Irish Mob — Sept. 10, 7 p.m. | Free with admission
True-crime historian T.J. English returns to the subject of his first book — the bloody rise and fall of the Westies, the Irish American gang that terrorized Hell’s Kitchen and carried out hits for the Mafia. Timely, too: the Westies are the inspiration for MGM+’s new TV drama. Book signing follows.
Harry Reid vs. The Mob — Sept. 19, 11 a.m. | Free with admission
Before Harry Reid became one of the Senate’s most powerful figures, he spent four years as Nevada Gaming Commission chairman going toe-to-toe with the Mob. Nevada Independent founder Jon Ralston — author of a critically acclaimed Reid biography — tells that story. Book signing follows.
Human Trafficking Survivor Natasha Herzig — Sept. 24, 7 p.m. | Free with admission
At 19, Natasha Herzig was kidnapped and forced into sex trafficking. She survived, became a nationally recognized advocate, and has testified before the U.S. Senate. Her story is difficult and important. Worth an RSVP.
New Bourbon: 300 Stewart Reserve — Available Sept. 10 | $45.95/bottle
The Underground’s most refined spirit yet — a small-batch bourbon aged 37 months in new charred oak, limited to 1,047 bottles. Named for the museum’s historic address at 300 Stewart Avenue. Neat pours $10, rocks $13.
