    Restaurant.com
    is an awesome discount restaurant website. The way it works is you buy a $10 or $25 gift certificate for only a few dollars. Sign up and they will email you regular special like $25 certificates for only 2 bucks or so. The most popular restaurants will not be in here obviously (if they are popular, they wouldn't need to give away discounts), but there are still great restaurants offered....and they change all the time, so keep checking.

    Opentable.com
    is awesome. You make restaurant reservations with it. After you accumulate points for making reservation, you can request a check to be mailed to you, and that can be used in any opentable.com restaurant.
    2,000 points = US$20
    5,000 points = US$50
    10,000 points = US$100
    You can get lots of reservations for 1,000 points too (for unpopular time slots usually, that they are trying to fill seats with). So with two 1,000 reservations, you get $20 back to use anywhere.
    It seems as if almost every restaurant in NYC is not on opentable. It is very extensive program.

    Tenka.com
    is a fantastic deal website (mostly food). They regularly give away free food. It seems to be mostly trucks and take out joints. You use your cell phone to get discounts (either through your browser or via text). Simple. The only catch is you have to sign up through Facebook, so be sure to create a secondary Facebook account just for Tenka and other deals..and problem solved!

    Then, there are all the daily deals websites that very regularly email you restaurant deals:
    Groupon.com
    BlackboardEats.com
    LivingSocial.com
    8coupons.com
    InBundles.com
    scoutmob.com
    seamlessweb.com (discount codes for ordering food offered all the time)

    and others I have not personally used..
    BuyWithMe
    CBS Local Offers
    DealOn
    Deal Pulp
    Eversave – Get $2 for signing up!
    KGB Deals
    LifeBooker Loot

    i second Restaurant.com. you'll find some gems in there. and for a couple bucks, what do you have to lose?

    just a word on it tho, there's usually a caveat to the deal. if you purchase a $50 gift certificate (will usually be about $20-$25, but they have 70%-90% off deals ALL the time, so you end up paying like $4) it usually says minimum bill has to be like $100, or you need to order 2 entrees, can only be used for dinner, stuff like that.
