Maybe the restaurant could use the names of Holocaust victims and simulate what they ate in concentration camps. Or maybe use the names of people who worked in the World Trade Centre, and use the menu from that restaurant on top of it. Or maybe have a Hotel Rwanda night. The "survivors" could then get a gift certificate. The possibilities are endless. Nora, the name thing is really very cheesy.

My mom went to it (first class meal = $$150.00 plate. I would have had to settle for steward/3'rd class at $35 and no way would I have done that. embarrasing!) She said it was really fun, the portions were small, but good. Everyone dressed up for the dinner, and actual Titanic artifacts were displayed for viewing. Everyone was also given a name as they walked in, and those who were "survivors" at the end of the night got gift certificates. Kinda a neat idea.

I have a friend who is one of the actors. I wish I could go, but tickets are around $70. A winery right across the border, in Virginia, hosts a “last meal” dinner with a Titanic theme.
