East Village

East Village sits on Manhattan’s Lower East Side between 14th Street and Houston Street, from Third Avenue to the East River, and it’s loved for its creative energy, indie shops, live music, and classic walk‑ups. Visitors come for Tompkins Square Park, St. Marks Place’s dining scene, Webster Hall’s concerts, and nearby cultural spots like the Ukrainian Museum and the Merchant’s House Museum. Traffic is steady on the avenues and tighter on the one‑way side streets, so planning ahead for parking in East Village helps you arrive relaxed and ready to explore.

On‑street spaces are limited and highly regulated with meters and posted rules, and the most competitive blocks are around St. Marks Place, Tompkins Square Park, and the busy corridors near Astor Place, Cooper Square, 14th Street, and Houston Street, while larger garages are more common along the major avenues. Reserving a garage in advance saves time, avoids circling, and makes it easier to time your visit whether you’re here for meetings or a night out. Always check the latest local signage and official city guidance before you park to stay compliant and keep your trip running smoothly.
