Orpheum Theater

Set in the East Village at 126 Second Avenue near St. Marks Place, the Orpheum Theater is a beloved Off-Broadway venue known for intimate productions and a long run as the home of STOMP, making it a worthwhile stop for theater lovers exploring downtown Manhattan. The surrounding streets are lively and often congested, with Second Avenue running one way southbound and busy with buses, bikes, and local traffic that can slow arrivals and departures.

Street parking is limited and competitive, with a mix of metered spaces and Alternate Side Parking rules that require careful attention to posted signs, meter limits, and cleaning schedules. Meters in Manhattan increasingly use pay-by-plate and the ParkNYC app, and the city enforces regulations strictly, including towing for violations, so planning and booking parking near Orpheum Theater in advance saves time and stress. Always review the latest rules and updates from official New York City sources before you drive.
