Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Midtown Manhattan’s Theater District at 234 West 42nd Street (between 7th and 8th Avenues), the parking options serving Dave & Buster\'s Times Square offer drivers convenient access to one of the world\'s most bustling entertainment corridors. While Dave & Buster\'s occupies the 3rd floor of this premier entertainment complex, patrons utilize the tightly integrated network of multi-level covered parking garages and valet decks located directly along 42nd and 43rd Streets. Standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, and mid-size SUVs can be accommodated with ease. However, drivers of oversized vehicles such as full-size pickup trucks, extended vans, and roof-rack-equipped vehicles should be mindful of typical Manhattan clearance restrictions (generally ranging between 6\'2\" and 6\'8\") and potential oversized vehicle surcharges common to midtown garages.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

This central location places visitors directly inside the electric atmosphere of Times Square and Broadway. Beyond the games, sports viewing, and dining at Dave & Buster’s, visitors are steps away from major landmarks, including:

• Broadway Theaters: Directly adjacent to historic venues including the New Amsterdam Theatre, American Airlines Theatre, Lyric Theatre, and the Majestic Theatre within a 2- to 5-minute walk.
• Times Square Bowtie: Located just one block east at 42nd Street and Broadway/7th Avenue for sightseeing, flagship retail, and the iconic electronic billboards.
• Madame Tussauds New York: Directly neighbor to the facility along the 42nd Street entertainment strip.
• Bryant Park & New York Public Library: A scenic 7-minute walk east toward 5th and 6th Avenues.
• Port Authority Bus Terminal: Located just half a block west at 8th Avenue.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Navigating to 234 West 42nd Street requires attention to Midtown Manhattan\'s one-way grid. 42nd Street carries bi-directional crosstown traffic, but side streets alternate directions (43rd Street runs westbound; 41st Street runs eastbound). Drivers approaching from New Jersey can take the Lincoln Tunnel directly into midtown via 10th or 9th Avenues, turning east onto 40th or 42nd Street. From the East Side, the FDR Drive links via the 42nd Street crosstown corridor.

For those connecting to public transit, the location is unbeatable: the Times Square–42nd Street subway station (N, Q, R, W, 1, 2, 3, 7, and S shuttle trains) and the 42nd St–Port Authority Bus Terminal station (A, C, E lines) provide sheltered subterranean connections directly from the block.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Driving and parking in Times Square requires strategic planning. Traffic on 42nd Street can become heavily congested, especially from 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM on weekdays and prior to Broadway curtain calls (Wednesday matinees, Friday, and Saturday evenings). Reserving your parking spot in advance via digital apps is strongly recommended to lock in discounted rates, as drive-up posted rates in Midtown are subject to premium peak pricing. Note that vehicles categorized as oversized (large SUVs, minivans, and trucks) will incur additional fees upon check-in. If attending a weekend event, plan to arrive at least 45 minutes ahead of your reservation to account for slow crosstown vehicle movement.
