Budget-conscious gastronomes, we hope you've been exercising your clicking fingers, because NYC Restaurant Week reservations are now live.

For this edition of the biannual extravaganza, which extends from January 14 to February 8, more than 300 local restaurants will offer three-course prix-fixe meals at discounted prices (lunch $25, dinner $38). As with previous years, most spots participate Monday through Friday, with a few springing for the optional Sunday.

Among the participants are several TONY critics' picks, including Dovetail, Esca, Hospoda, Kin Shop and Locanda Verde.
