East Village Street Parking
- There is limited on-street non-metered parking on streets during the day from 18th to Houston in between 3rd Ave to FDR drive. This same area is subject to Alt-Side Parking! See below for more information on NYC Alt-Side parking.
- 14th Street offers some 1 hour metered parking during the day for 3.50/hour. In the evening 2nd Ave offers metered options as well. Meters are not in effect on Sundays. Pay attention to the parking duration and times listed on the meter, as they are subject to change.
- Parking is largely available for overnight if you are lucky enough to snag a spot.
- Most meters end after 7pm and then become free parking, but be sure to read all signs, because this can vary by location.
East Village Alternate-Side Parking
The the East Village, like much else of Manhattan, is subject to Alt-Side parking. Short for alternate side parking, Alt-Parking is a set of NYC parking regulations that allow for frequent street cleanings and therefore parking restrictions. Frequently, one side of the street is restricted, and the other is not, hence the Alt-Side restriction. This means moving you car almost daily.
Most areas with enforced alt-side parking are physically marked by a sign that features a red “P” that is crossed out by a broom. All areas marked as alt-side parking are subject to suspension for holidays and emergencies, but typically are on restricted for varying 3 hour time periods.
Be mindful of Alt-Parking that is modified daily. Manhattan tow trucks work quickly, so be sure to check @NYCASP, NYCTDOTs twitter feed for an update on Alt-Parking restrictions by zone.
East Village Parking Permits
If you are an East village resident you probably get frustrated by the lack of street parking available. Despite popular demand, there are no residential parking permits for able bodied individuals that do not work for the government. The positive? Street parking is FREE for everyone, not just residents. Unless there is signage or meters explicitly dictating restrictions, most street parking is fair game.

East Village Parking Tips
- Parking in the East Village can be quite cumbersome. The crowded streets were not designed for cars and now the dense population fights for limited spots. Although finding street parking is not impossible, you must be prepared for some strategic planning. Be sure to pay careful attention to all signs, especially those about street cleaning, to avoid getting an expensive NYC parking ticket or having your car towed.
- During weekdays, it is easier to find East Village parking further east, while on the weekends good parking can be found on the west side of the neighborhood. Most metered parking is located on the west part of the East Village. Note that the closer you are to the Williamsburg Bridge, the more difficult it is to find parking.
