It's six days till Center City District Restaurant Week, so let's head to OpenTable (the res system tied into Restaurant Week) to see what's available. The mission: a table for two on the first day (Jan. 27) at 7 p.m. at restaurants where the week's three- or four-course promotional price of $35 (plus beverages, tax and tip) might actually be a substantial discount. Not all restaurants are using OpenTable. Your results may vary.
