A theater of varieties on Chrystie Street, the New York original of The Box.
The Box is a theater of varieties at 189 Chrystie Street on the Lower East Side. It opened in 2007 in a former sign factory, and the old Spanjer Signs lettering still runs across the front. It is the New York original of the house: The Box Soho followed in London in 2011.
The building covers about 5,000 square feet over three levels, a reception foyer and two floors. The main room is a small theater with booths on the floor facing the stage, gilded balconies wrapping around it, red curtains, chandeliers and a long bar. A resident cast performs numbers built by the in-house directors, and the shows run late and are made for an adult audience.
The Box opens Wednesday through Saturday from 11pm until about 4am and is dark Sunday through Tuesday. Reservations are required for entry, so a table booked ahead is the way in. For private events the building takes up to 300 guests, or seats 133 for a dinner, and the house can build the entertainment around the night, from a single number to a full show. Tell us the night and your group size, and our New York team will arrange the table.

Frequently asked about The Box
How do I book a table at The Box in New York?
Submit the reservation request on this page and our New York team confirms your table, quotes any minimum spend in writing, and coordinates arrival before you commit. Your host opens the door on arrival so you walk straight to a ready table.
How much is a table at The Box?
A table at The Box depends on the night (weekends and event dates price highest), your group size, and where the table sits relative to the DJ booth and dance floor. Rather than a price that changes weekly, our New York team quotes your exact minimum spend in writing when confirming, so you know the cost before you arrive.
What is the dress code at The Box?
The Box keeps an upscale nightlife dress code: stylish, dressed-up attire. Avoid athletic wear, gym shoes, and overly casual looks. Your host manages the door with your table, and we confirm the current policy with your booking.
What time should I arrive at The Box?
Table guests generally arrive as the room fills, with the peak on weekends. Your MyRSVP host coordinates a specific arrival window so you are not waiting in line.
