NYC's Winter Restaurant Week Returns In 2010; Better Get Booking
The bass restaurant week entree at NYC's Asiate restaurant
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!

Some News From Philly That's Not World Series-Related
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."

dineLA Restaurant Week Turns Into Restaurant Month
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.

Our Top Five Picks For San Diego's Extended Restaurant Week
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.

Our Top Picks For The Final Days Of San Diego Restaurant Week
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.
Check out Jaunted's picks after the jump.

Dine at Oprah's Chef's Place During DC's Restaurant Week
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.

Grab Your Fork For dineLA's Fall Restaurant Week
Even in this dismal economy, foodies don't have to sacrifice fine dining, at least where there is a restaurant week. Come this fall, restaurants across Los Angeles county will serve up special three-course menus for dineLA's first fall Restaurant Week from Oct. 4-9 and Oct. 11-16 (okay, so it's really two weeks).
This marks dineLA's third culinary celebration and the largest county-wide food fest of the year. The other Restaurant Weeks were held in the winter; last year, 150,000 mouths devoured meals at 175 participating eateries. Although this year's roster of restaurants won't be available on dineLA's website until Sept. 1, we've already got confirmations from Caché, On Sunset, The Lobster, The Bistro Garden at Coldwater, Geisha House and Ketchup that they're participating.

New Restaurant Weeks Are Always Nice; Please Welcome 'Miami Spice'
We can't praise Restaurant Week enough, and we're not just talking about New York but about the plethora of other cities adopting the couple-week event with discounted prix fixe meals at the best restaurants. Cities like Boston and Chicago have jumped on the bandwagon in past years, and 2009 now welcomes Miami to the mix.
During August and September, renowned restaurants will serve up three-course mealsקlunch for $22 and dinner for $35—with the intention of discovering "the tropical fusion of ingredients that makes Miami dining so wonderfully out of the ordinary." Some of the hotspots on deck for the promotion: Nikki Beach, Barolo, Meat Market, Cafe Avanti, and Smith & Wollensky (which has an amazing view of the harbor and ocean).

NY Restaurant Week Is Up For A Second Helping Through Labor Day
Yesssss! Great news, New Yorkers and those visiting New York yet this summer: Restaurant Week has been extended through Labor Day.
While it's not uncommon for restaurants to offer prix fixe meals like Restaurant Week past the official dates, this time it's an actual official lengthening of the specials at over 200 of the city's best restaurants. The first—and what should have been the only—part of Restaurant Week ended on July 31, and now we feel foolish for rushing around for our meals at Elettaria, Asiate at the Mandarin Oriental, BONDST and One If By Land, Two If By Sea. No matter; Restaurant Week is a hell of a deal and we hear that even Regis Philbin is plugging it on Live With Regis and Kelly.
To snag the best reservations, hit NYCGo.com now for menus and availability. Put your money where your mouth is: 3-course lunches are still $24.07 and 3-course dinners are $35. And we highly recommend the donuts and chai ice cream for dessert at Elettaria.
