A first course of Restaurant Week 2011 is being served this week in New York City, Los Angeles, Baltimore, Philadelphia and other major cities. How deep a discount you'll be paying for your gourmet grub depends on where you live.

Participating restaurants in the Washington, D.C., suburb Bethesda, Md., and Hudson County, N.Y., boast the cheapest lunches at around $12, according to a list supplied for WalletPop by the promotion's organizer, OpenTable, an online reservation site. Sonoma County, Calif., Oakland, Calif., and the state of New Mexico are offering multiple-course dinners for as low as $20.
