Winter Restaurant Week is a godsend for every man who dreams of growing hefty on delicious food: over 200 top spots, offering deeply discounted lunches and dinners. Along with veteran participants (Gramercy Tavern, August, Nice Matin, etc), this year's loaded with newcomers. Some fresh places to affordably grub:

InTent: Mediterranean chow under a copper-colored tent

Mai House: Inventive Vietnamese fusion

Lure Fishbar: Simple, fresh seafood in an ocean liner-themed dining room

Porter House: A modern take on the traditional steakhouse

Morimoto: Contemporary Japanese cuisine from the Iron Chef

Of course, seats at prime WRW spots can disappear fast, so get a jump on things by checking out the full restaurant list at NYCVisit.com. Then head straight to OpenTable.com to make idiot-proof online reservations, and you'll achieve cost-effective, gourmet stomach expansion while Kung Pao-munching WRW abstainers simply get fat.
