New York, New York: Monday, December 3, 2001 - Looks like we won't have an Amtrak benchmark - they're too swamped with the airline substitution traffic.

The Council team and I will be on this train.-------------GATHER - at 6:30pm Monday at Becco, a restaurant quite close by at 355 W. 46th Street, (212)397-7597 (www.becconyc.com).

The fixed price will be between $58 - $74 depending on what you have and whether you want wine with dinner. Please have cash or check for this dinner - we the Council will give you a receipt.
