It varies depending on what is going on. Generally, we like to eat around 6:30. If I'm going to concert band or to play for a show I'll eat around 5:00 since these things start early here in The Villages. We lack places to grab a late bite here. Up in NY/NJ we would usually wait until after playing to run out to eat at one of the many 24-hour diners. During the late fall, winter, and early spring eating out here usually means going early or later in the evening since all the "snowbirds" crowd the restaurants between 5:00 and 7:00.
