The first location, rented in 1914 near Sheridan Square at 133 Washington Place on the third floor of a four story building, was reached by climbing one outside staircase and two inside staircases.

From 1915 through 1923, Romany Marie's was in a tiny house at 20 Christopher Street, and, from 1923 through the late 1920s, at 1701⁄₂ Waverly Place.
