⏰ Daylight Saving Time — March 9
Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday, March 9 — clocks spring forward 1 hour at 2:00 AM. This means fasting hours get longer by ~1 hour overnight. Suhoor on March 8 vs March 9 will feel noticeably different.
Plan ahead: Update your alarms the night before. After DST, iftar jumps from ~6:15 PM to ~7:17 PM — but the actual fasting duration stays roughly the same since suhoor shifts too. The clock change just makes evenings feel later.

📋 Ramadan Dining Tips
- •Call ahead for Ramadan hours. Many restaurants extend their hours during Ramadan, offering late-night service and pre-dawn suhoor menus.
- •Book for large groups. Iftar is best shared. If you're bringing family or friends, make a reservation — popular spots fill up fast during Ramadan.
- •Consider takeout and catering. Many restaurants offer special Ramadan platters and family deals for takeout. Great for hosting iftar at home.
- •Arrive 15 minutes early. Popular iftar spots get busy right at sunset. Arriving early ensures you're seated and ready to break your fast on time.
- •Start light. Follow the Sunnah — break your fast with dates and water before the main meal.
