Sunday Brunch with Work Colleagues

Can you help??

I need to arrange a Sunday brunch for about 10 - 15 work colleagues in NYC.

We need a place
- that will take reservations
-has a good variety of food (not everyone is adventurous)
- we'll go anywhere in the city... if the atmosphere/ food is good
- warm, cozy, inviting would be helpful (this is a celebratory meal)
and
the hardest part... I will be paying for this on my own...
so less than $50pp (total) would be helpful (even less expensive, would be great)

Is that possible???

all suggestions welcome.. I'm willing to try something unique, different, fun, can be casual (not stuffy).
I know I'm at a low price point.. but I'm afraid to go any higher....

pls help : )

    Gascogne offers a 3-course brunch prix-fixe for $22, including o.j., a mimosa, or a "Bloody Marie." The food is very tasty; it's a cozy, charming place; and they take reservations.

        Do you guys think that any of these places have (decent) music??? Thinking it might make it more fun/ festive.

        I forgot to ask if there are any good restaurants w/ prix fixe menus...

        that might be a better way to control the costs....

              I've had the toffee-glazed brioche and the suckling pig pasta. Both were good. I also enjoyed the affogato there for dessert.

              Serious Eats has done a nice article about the breakfast items at Maialino (largely similar to brunch): http://newyork.seriouseats.com/2010/0...
