Visitor & Driver Tips

St. Marks Place is situated on a natural hillside ridge overlooking Upper New York Bay. When parking on inclined side streets, remember to curb your tires according to New York City traffic regulations (turn wheels toward the curb when facing downhill; away from the curb when facing uphill). If you are visiting to attend a performance at the St. George Theatre or heading into Manhattan during weekday morning rush hours, plan to arrive 20 to 30 minutes in advance to secure a prime stall and comfortably make the walk down the hill. Ensure you leave no valuable personal belongings or bags visible within your vehicle cabin when parked.
