Foodies, unite! Book your trips to New York City now for the end of January or beginning of February, since the dates for Winter Restaurant Week were just announced. Some of the best and most famous restaurants in the Big Apple will be offering up prix-fixe lunch and dinner menus from January 25 to February 7.

And although restaurant week has been around in NYC since 1992, the prices haven't changed for the menus since 2006, meaning that 3-course lunches are a set $24.07 and 3 or 4-course dinners are $35.

Of course they're breaking out the prix fixe menus during the low period before Valentine's Day, but that's just means more foodie fun to brighten up dreary winter days. We're already plotting our reservations, and although you won't be able to book tables until probably sometime around New Year's, it's the right time to plan an indulgent trip to the city. Put our the airfare alerts now!

How do you enjoy Restaurant Week menus and prices without it actually being Restaurant Week? Well, if you're in Philadelphia, all you've got to do is book your hotel stay on withlove.gophila.com, and you'll receive all the details on the hotels where you can dine on discount prix-fixe menus through December 30.

Restaurants featured run the gamut, from super swish 4-course meals at Lacroix at The Rittenhouse to fresh Italian at Positano Coast. And since we promised Restaurant Week prices, you'll be happy to hear the the 3-to-4-course meals are all either $20, $30 or $35 per person. We're guessing that Lacroix is up at the $35 end, but menu choices aren't piddly; think "prime rib, crab imperial, handmade orecchiette and olive oil-poached Scottish salmon." ]]> JetSetCD 2009-11-04T16:29:21-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/10/19/132939/18

Los Angeles foodies, cleanse your palates and rev up your digestive systems, because dineLA Restaurant Week is extending for yet one more week. Originally slated to run from October 4-9, it stretched through the 16th, and now through the 23rd. In that case, shouldn't it be called Restaurant Month? No matter, because the extension is to your benefit, giving local restaurant-goers the chance to sample some of the city's best eateries for a mere fraction of what it would normally cost to dine at them.

Here's how it works: Go online and take a look at the list of over 200 participating restaurants, choose where you'd like to eat, and make a reservation by calling them directly or via OpenTable. As a friendly tip, we suggest telling your maître d' and server upon arrival that you have joined them as a dineLA Week patron, for two important reasons: 1) You want to make sure that you're getting the adjusted rate, which ranges from $16-44, depending on which price tier of restaurant you choose, and whether you're eating at lunch or dinnertime, and 2) You can't just go about ordering whatever items you want. The restaurants have crafted special dineLA menus for the occasion—three courses of some of their chef's best. ]]> Heidi Atwal 2009-10-19T14:58:40-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/9/21/3248/64417
Get cheap French eats at Bleu Bohème during San Diego Restaurant Week.

The Restaurant Weeks in New York and LA attracted so many diners that the cities decided to add second courses of the culinary event. San Diego is feeling just as generous, also dishing out extra days for Restaurant Week by adding a fall event to the original offerings which were supposed to end last week.

Officials have extended San Diego Restaurant "Week" until September 25. You'd think that all of this Restaurant Week love should be a hint to restaurants that they should permanently add affordable three-course menus during this recession. Still, until they get a clue, we'll recommend some additional places in San Diego where you can get a great meal deal during the extension.

Our Top Five Picks for the San Diego Restaurant Week extension, after the jump. ]]> Jennifer Kester 2009-09-21T11:23:56-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/9/17/3386/45654
The Marine Room serves up a deal for Restaurant Week.

If you've wanted to try out a restaurant or two, there's still a couple days left to put yourself in a food coma during San Diego Restaurant Week, which runs through September 18. More than 180 restaurants are offering sweet deals for three-course meals as part of the fifth annual event.

San Diego Restaurant Week, which usually runs in January, is making its fall debut. This marks the second time this year that Restaurant Week has invaded local restaurants. It seems like this marketing ploy to help struggling restaurants is a new trend, since L.A. also recently made its Restaurant Week a semiannual event. But hey, we'll take it to get some cheap, yummy eats. Restaurants all across the county, from Escondido to Coronado, feature special menus with local, seasonal ingredients. You can score some good discounts, since the prix fixe meals come in packages of $20, $30 or $40, though tax, beverages and gratuity aren't included.

Ny now you probably know well our love of the various Restaurant Weeks around the country, whose reduced but 3-course menus allow everyone from penny-pinching tourists to jaded locals to sample something new. This year saw both a super extended New York Restaurant Week and the beginning of restaurant weeks in Miami ("Miami Spice") and Los Angeles'dineLA). Now it's the capital's turn.

Starting today in the dining rooms of Washington DC's best foodie spots is Restaurant Week, serving up several-course lunches for $20.09 and dinners for $35.09. The deal is short; it only runs from August 24-30, so we recommend getting on the phone with that little expensive place you've always wanted to try. ]]> JetSetCD 2009-08-24T12:04:40-05:00 Search Jaunted string http://www.jaunted.com/search/
