Please suggest restorant for an early Sunday dinner/brunch for 7 ppl and a baby in Midtown

[LeoNYC]

We plan to celebrate our baby's birthday (she is turning 1) and want to get together with our parents and a couple of relatives around 2-3pm on Sunday in Midtown Manhattan (20-40s Streets, anywhere from 6th to 1st Ave). Lots of places have brunch on Sunday which can mean crowds, difficulty in getting a table and lack of space - would be a problem for us, obviously (baby + stroller).

In terms of food, we like Asian (Chinese, Thai, Japanese/Sushi), Italian, American, Latin, Mexican, and are not very picky as long as it's not too expensive. Would prefer not to go to a Diner or Pub.

Thanks in advance!

How about Wu Liang Ye on 48th St? Reliable Szechuan food, and they take reservations for large parties. And definitely within your budget.

It's not going to win any culinary awards, but places like Hill Country would be pretty convenient. You won't wait for a table, the food is fast, it's cheap, and there is plenty of space for your stroller/high chair. The Petite Abeille near Stuyvesant Town (I think it's on 20th and 1st ave?) is also baby-friendly and decent for brunch.

Let us know what not too expensive means to you (exclusive of tax, tip, drinks) and I imagine you'll get lots of ideas from people.

I am talking about restaurants that one would not call fancy/posh/expensive; I guess if we are talking about Italian, the pasta dishes would be in the $10-16 range; for sushi, the regular rolls would be $5-7, and where a glass of wine can be had for 7-9 dollars, etc. We don't have a defined budget.
