Staging around West 125th Street in Central Harlem
The Apollo Theater sits on the north side of West 125th Street (Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard) between Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard (Seventh Avenue) and Frederick Douglass Boulevard (Eighth Avenue). West 125th Street is Harlem’s primary two-way commercial corridor and carries Select Bus Service (M60-SBS to LaGuardia Airport) as well as heavy cross-town traffic between the Henry Hudson Parkway and the RFK Bridge.
Because bus lanes and commercial loading zones line West 125th Street, vehicles cannot linger beneath the historic Apollo marquee or outside the new Apollo Stages at the Victoria Theater (233 West 125th Street).
Pre-show marquee drop-off
Approaching westbound on West 125th Street from Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard places your door on the north curb directly on the Apollo Theater side of the street.
Post-show pickup on 126th St or 8th Ave
When Amateur Night, a comedy taping or a benefit gala lets out onto West 125th Street, meeting your chauffeur around the corner on Frederick Douglass Boulevard (8th Ave) or West 126th Street avoids the bus-lane bottleneck.
Harlem dining + show itinerary
Pair dinner along Frederick Douglass Boulevard, Lenox Avenue (Malcolm X Blvd) or Midtown with an Apollo performance using a 3-hour minimum hourly charter.
Direct access from Midtown, Upper Manhattan, Westchester and airports
Harlem’s location at 125th Street offers fast highway connectivity across the tri-state region: the Henry Hudson Parkway (NY-9A) runs moments west along the Hudson River, the Harlem River Drive / FDR Drive and RFK Bridge sit minutes east, and LaGuardia Airport is a straight shot across the RFK Bridge via Astoria Boulevard.
For performers, production crews, benefit committee guests or families visiting Uptown, pre-booking a written quote locks in your vehicle class—Executive Sedan, Executive SUV, Luxury Sedan or custom-quoted Sprinter—before you head out for the evening.
Apollo Theater Car Service frequently asked questions
Which side of West 125th Street should our chauffeur approach for the Apollo Theater?
Both the historic Apollo Theater (253 W 125th St) and the Victoria Theater stages (233 W 125th St) sit on the north (uptown) side of West 125th Street, which means a westbound approach from Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard (7th Ave) toward Frederick Douglass Boulevard (8th Ave) allows curbside drop-off without crossing two-way traffic.
Can we book an hourly chauffeur for an Apollo gala or television taping?
Yes. Hourly charters start at a 3-hour minimum ($120/hr Executive Sedan, $144/hr Executive SUV, $165/hr Luxury SUV, $200/hr Luxury Sedan) and keep your chauffeur on standby in Harlem if a taping or gala reception runs past its scheduled finish.
Do you provide transfers between the Apollo Theater and JFK, LGA or Teterboro?
Yes. LaGuardia Airport is right across the RFK Bridge from 125th Street, and Teterboro Airport (TEB) is easily reached via the George Washington Bridge at 178th Street.
