I’ve visited T.V. a number of times now and I’ll be relocating from Long Island, in a few months. T.V. Is a beautiful place, but I have yet to find a New York quality restaurant. “GOOD” dining places are very few and far between. Don’t know where you are coming from but if you have a dining establishment with “New York quality” products, you’ll do great. Also, another rarity, almost non-existent, are good bakeries with fresh rolls, cookies, pastries. Publix is the only game in town.

We too are ex-Long Islanders. This is not New York. Truth we moved to The Villages to escape New York. A New York quality restaurant, many of them the prices were/are out of sight. Many patrons are on expense accounts, spending not their but the bosses money. There are several good restaurants close to the Villages.
New York and New York metro you can find most anything the good and the bad. Truth, I miss the snow, I miss the fall trees. I do not at all miss the Long Island Railroad. The Long Island ?????? express way??????????, The Northern State Parkway-supposed ot be a road but it is a PARKway. The Southern State also PARKway that latter changes name to The Belt PARKway or perhaps better renamed Pothole endless detour-way. Parking in Brooklyn or Queens. Oh and tourists from Florida on vacation in NY.
Do not forget. If you decide to move here you as we did decided to leave New York. I know more than one. They remarry due to death or issues and then tell their new spouse how much better their first spouse was.
