We all made resolutions for the New Year and now Restaurant Week tempts us to try new places at a lower price. If you do have dining out in your budget for this year, this is a great opportunity to venture into old favorites and recently opened restaurants at substantial discounts.

In Los Angeles, it’s dineLA for two weeks. The first is January 22 to 27 and the second is January 29 to February 3. Been meaning to sample Akasha’s interesting cuisine? A three course dinner including an appetizer, entree, and dessert will be $34.

New York City brings out the bargains from January 16 to February 10 (Monday through Fridays only).  Lunches are $24.07 and dinners $35.00 at some of the poshest places including Boulud Sud, Ca Va Brasserie by Todd English, and Ruth’s Cris Steak House.

Open Table lists all the cities that participate in dining discounts during the year. Check to see if there are any in your neighborhood or where you’ll be traveling.
