After benching, or after 10 minutes post-sunset (whichever is later), one may not eat or drink anything except water until after Havdalah. • One should not daven Maariv on Saturday night until after Shabbat is over (this week 5:59pm); preferably, one should not do any melacha before davening Maariv (with atah chonantanu) or making Havdalah.
