I have been on TOTV since July and have received some great information from this forum and "met" some very nice people. We tried to come up during a Crispers but since we booked on such short notice could not arrange that.
I know everyone has opinions but just curious - would you tell me YOUR 5 favorite:
Things we MUST SEE/DO?
Restaurants?
Pizza parlors (this should be a good one)?
Places to listen to music & have a drink?
Favorite bands that may be at the squares?
Any other info that may help. We are booked for 7 nights.
Thank you all for your help. - SEE YOU UP THERE! |
Congrats on your upcoming visit. From another wannabee -- go on the trolley tour from the sales office in Lake Sumter Landing. I took it in 2010, and I think I will take it again went I come back to TV to visit in a couple of weeks as I am betting the trolley tour route is different than it was in the summer of 2010. The trolley tour only takes about 50 minutes, and the tour I was on in 2010 was narrated by a very knowledgeable resident of TV.
Favorite restaurants that I have been to: restaurant at the Nancy Lopez Country Club, Cane Garden, restaurant at Mallory Hill Country Club, City Fire, Thai Ruby, Lighthouse Point Bar & Grille and Red Sauce. I honestly have not had a bad meal (at least food wise) while visiting TV, but I am not a full time resident, just a wannabee. I still have not been to the restaurants at Arnold Palmer Country Club, Glenview Champions or Evans Prairie. I should try those 3 restaurants when I get back to TV this month.
Pizza -- I am from Chicago, so that is hard to beat, but I have had pizza at Mallory Hill Country Club -- pretty good. If Lou Malnati's in Chicago opened a couple of pizza places in The Villages they would make a lot of $$ -- just my 2 cents.
I love all the nightly entertainment at the squares, and I recommend you go to market nights (Monday and Wednesday at Spanish Springs, Tuesday and Thursday at Lake Sumter Landing) to see the vendors. Go to the Farmers Market on Saturdays from 10 am to 2 pm at Brownwood. Go to Katie Belles at Spanish Springs. Don't be shy about asking questions of people you meet about their experiences living in The Villages. Most people are very happy to share their experiences with you. I hope you throroughly enjoy your LSV.
