Victoria pudding, which is very similar to like a regular plum pudding, but Victoria pudding is a little bit different. It's topped with a nice, big, fluffy meringue.

So he was a really ambitious, interesting young man.

The Bronx was created at the Waldorf Astoria. It's an orange juice-based drink with gin. If you like a mimosa, which is champagne and orange juice, this is a little drier, of course. It still has orange juice in it, but it doesn't have the bubbles and the sweetness. One of the things so special about the Titanic now is that it's a time capsule.

One of the bartenders at the time, he had been to the Bronx Zoo, or so he explained. When he was making this new cocktail, he thought of the animals he had seen, and he thought, I'm going to call it the Bronx because I was just at the Bronx Zoo, and the animals there reminded me of how people can behave when they've had too much to drink.

This staircase adds to the theater of what the Titanic truly was. It was a place for people to go and to meet their friends or make new friends.
