Mr. Lieb, I've made lunch reservations at Di Paolo's Italian restaurant for 1:00 p.m. When you meet me, we can go over the Cross Media contract together. I sent you the restaurant's address earlier. It's right across the street from Grand Central station, so I suggest using public transportation to get there. You'll have to take one of the temporary buses as Ratner is the station closest to you, though. You can visit the transportation office's Web site to find out which bus to take. Anyway, see you on Thursday!
