I'll be taking a relative who was brought up there and would like to show her the Tenement museum and then walk through the old neighborhood. Is there any on street parking? Metered, or unmetered? Parking lots only? Any difference between weekends or weekdays? We can't take the subway (as I did when I was a kid)so we really must drive. Any help will be appreciated. Thanx
There is a municipal parking lot on Essex btwn Delancey and Rivington. That's right near the museum.

Thanks. I just googled "tenement Museum" and their sight mentions that lot and a few others. I always appreciate my VT friends so I checked out VT first.

My sister lives on the LES and I can tell you that street parking is fairly challenging in that neighborhood. If you do want to park on the street, one place that often has spots is Delancey St. under the approach to the Williamsburg Bridge. (Most of Delancey flows right onto the bridge, but you want to go off to the side to get under the bridge itself.) There is a lot of parking there, and during the day you can get spots.

Read the signs VERY carefully, and carry lots of quarters. If one sign is more restrictive than the others, then obey that more restrictive sign. That new "muni meter" prints out the receipt, which you place on your driver's side dashboard, so that the cops can read it without straining themselves. Don't forget a hot dog and Katz' Deli.

Sunday is generally a free parking day. You can park and not feed the meter (coin or muni). "There are no parking meters in effect on Sundays in New York City. There are also no alternate side parking regulations in effect on Sundays, but drivers must still obey any parking sign that specifically states that a regulation is in effect on Sundays or "anytime.".

Not true; there are SOME parking meters that are in effect on Sundays. One must read the signs oh-so-carefully. Alternate Side Parking (ASP), by definition, only applies to weekdays, so it can never be "in effect" on a Sunday. If 2 or more conflicting signs appear on the same street, assume that the most restrictive sign is in effect. If a sign, that prohibits parking, is spray painted over or damaged, another similar sign, down the block, will still be in effect. You will be issued a ticket based on that sign that is all the way down the same block. In trendy areas like the East Village, you may pay 25 cents for 10 minutes, and the limit may be only 60 minutes, so you'd have to keep re-filling the meter. There's even a reg against re-filling, because they want the spaces to be turned over to new vehicles.
