Facility Overview
The 1633 Broadway Garage, operated by ABM Parking Services at Paramount Plaza in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, is a premier multi-level underground parking facility. Located right in the Theater District, this secure covered garage offers both valet assist and attendant parking. Vehicle clearance accommodates standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, and mid-size SUVs up to standard Manhattan subterranean garage limits (approximately 6 feet 6 inches to 6 feet 8 inches). Drivers of full-size pickup trucks, oversized commercial vans, and high-roof conversion vehicles should note that oversized vehicle surcharges typically apply, and vehicles exceeding strict vertical clearances cannot be admitted.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Situated directly beneath and adjacent to the iconic Paramount Plaza tower, this parking facility is nestled right in the pulse of New York City\'s world-famous Broadway scene:
- Gershwin Theatre & Circle in the Square Theatre: Located on-site and adjacent to the plaza, making this the single most convenient garage for attendees of long-running hits like Wicked.
- Times Square & Father Duffy Square: Just a brief 3 to 5-minute walk south (3 blocks) into the core entertainment, retail, and dining crossroads of the world.
- Radio City Music Hall & Rockefeller Center: Approximately a 5 to 7-minute stroll east along 50th Street, ideal for seasonal events, television tapings, and ice skating.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
The garage offers excellent vehicular ingress and egress with dual access portals, positioned between Broadway and 8th Avenue via West 50th Street (eastbound) and West 51st Street (westbound). This dual-street orientation significantly eases arrival from the West Side Highway (NY-9A) through the 50th Street crosstown corridor. Transit riders and commuters also benefit from unparalleled connectivity, with the 50th Street Subway Station serving the 1 train right at Broadway, the C and E trains located at 8th Avenue, and the N, Q, R, and W lines accessible just two blocks away at 49th Street.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Due to extremely high demand during Broadway matinee and evening curtain calls, reserve a parking spot well in advance using mobile booking tools to lock in lower promotional rates and avoid full lot closures. Allow an extra 15 to 20 minutes when picking up your vehicle immediately following popular theater dismissals, as valet queues can swell. When entering, watch for garage signs on both West 50th and West 51st Streets to choose the entrance best aligned with Midtown\'s one-way traffic grid.
