Need a piano bar/cabaret-type spot for about 20 frustrated singers to have a blast on a Sunday Afternoon?

I have been given the task of organizing an event for a group of about 20 singers to have a get-together in Manhattan. Most of us are native New Yorkers, but many in the group don't do much in midtown or downtown. So it's up to me to find a spot where we can do sing-alongs AND eat.

We are not trying to break the bank so I know that I may have to settle for eating first and then rolling on over to a piano bar, and that's fine.

I am pretty savvy about the city but my brain is just not clicking on this one. So yes, I am aware of the Duplex, but it is too small. Brandy's is small and not in an interesting neighborhood (though there's an Irish pub with good burgers nearby).

Not interested in chi chi places like the Algonquin. And I want the possibility of musical interaction (open mic / singing along) so a spot like the Monkey Bar is out.

So I am turning to you all to help me out here.

THANKS

Update:

Thanks Ho Ho. But does it have food and can it accomodate 20 people? Thanks

    The pianist will hear requests and play show tunes for the audience to sing along to. Some, including certain members of the wait staff, are excellent. Great fun. Not fancy in the least (wine comes in plastic cups) but totally authentic. One of my favorite true New York places which miraculously still survives!

    definite, I do. i think of that's the main suitable time to drink...that and Saturday nights, of direction! Sundays have been meant to be saved holy, yet cases have replaced. i do no longer think of eating is unholy, 'cept in case you overdo it and finally end up f*cking a rubbish bag in front of your buddies.
