Grab a Bite!
Arriving early to the area or like the idea of staying out late? There are some great places to grab a bite or a drink beforehand or afterwards! We recommend these places:
Olive Tree Cafe: So close to the theatre you’re there already! Located right next door to the Players Theatre at 117 MacDougal St, this hidden gem serves terrific American and Middle Eastern food at reasonable prices (we recommend the hummus plate, and if you like to tipple, the wild berry martini is fantastic!) https://www.opentable.com/r/the-olive-tree-cafe-new-york
Denino’s Greenwich Village: Right down the street from the Players Theatre at 93 MacDougal St. Delicious thin-crust pizzas definitely big enough for a crowd, Denino’s has a variety of toppings at moderate prices. https://www.deninosgreenwichvillage.com/
La Lanterna di Vittorio: How about some Italian food before or after the show? La Lanterna di Vittorio has about everything you could want, from gorgeous lasagnas to cheese or meat platters to pizzas, not to mention an extensive menu of beer wine and liquors. The food world is your oyster at La Laterna! https://www.lalanterna.nyc
Cuba: Visit Cuba without leaving the village! Nestled on Thompson Street only two very short blocks down, Cuba has Cuban, Latin and Spanish dishes to transform your palate. They also have brunch from 12pm-4pm on Sundays, so you can fill your belly with the best before our 3pm Sunday show! https://cubanyc.com/
Travel and Parking
The Steve and Marie Sgouros Theatre is located on the third floor of the Players Theatre (there is no elevator) at 115 MacDougal Street. The box office opens approximately 30 minutes before the start of the show, so we recommend you arrive around that time if you have a group that would like to sit together, as seating is first-come, first-serve. The festival manager will be present to check-in patrons and open the house.
While there is on-street parking to be found in our neighborhood, if you prefer to park in a garage, we recommend Minetta Parking at 122 West 3rd Street Between McDougal & 6th. While not inexpensive, it is just around the corner.
If you are coming by subway, we are just a block from the West 4th station. Take the A, C, E, B,D, F or M and exit towards 3rd street and head east to MacDougal and make a right.
If we can help you with anything, please feel free to email us at: [email protected]. We’ll see you at the show!
