Museum of the Moving Image (MoMI) in Astoria, Queens, is hosting a evening built around When Harry Met Sally… on Saturday, November 14, from 6 to 10pm. The event is organized by Trust Your Taste and is titled "I'll Have What Cheese Having," after the book by author, cheese educator and self-described sensory storyteller Anne-Marie Pietersma.
The night runs in three parts. From 6 to 6:30pm, Pietersma talks with director and podcaster Mackenna Goodrich about romantic comedies, sensory storytelling, and how food can open a path into memory. She then introduces the film and the cheese pairing it inspired in her book.
From 6:30 to 8pm, guests watch the Nora Ephron–Rob Reiner film on 35mm in MoMI's 68-seat theater. The organizers stress that seating is extremely limited, since only those 68 seats are available.
From 8 to 10pm, the evening moves to a wine and cheese reception. It features the When Harry Met Sally… pairing from the book, along with other pairings inspired by romantic comedies the book covers. A Rom-Com & Cheese Marketplace will also be open, selling signed books, rom-com-inspired candles, merchandise and other treats.
VIP ticket holders receive a limited-edition swag bag containing a signed copy of I'll Have What Cheese Having, a limited-edition tote, a mini rom-com-inspired candle, a bookmark, stickers and extra items from event partners.
The event is for ages 21 and over, runs about four hours, and is in person. Tickets are sold through Eventbrite, and the listing states a no-refund policy. MoMI is at 36-01 35th Avenue, Queens, NY 11106.
