Facility Overview

Dock Parking at 164 W 46th Street provides parking in the core of Midtown Manhattan’s Theater District. Situated on West 46th Street between 6th Avenue (Avenue of the Americas) and 7th Avenue, this facility places motorists just steps from the pulsing energy of Times Square. Operating primarily as an indoor, attendant-managed covered garage facility, it delivers secure, sheltered vehicle staging in an ultra-dense urban corridor where on-street parking is virtually nonexistent.

The facility accommodates standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, and mid-size family vehicles. Due to typical Midtown Manhattan garage architecture and vehicle lift systems, vertical clearance is restricted to standard vehicle heights (approximately 6 feet 6 inches). Full-size pickup trucks, commercial cargo vans, high-roof conversion vans, and vehicles with rooftop cargo carriers cannot be accommodated and should seek open-air surface lots or oversized facilities closer to the West Side highway corridor.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Midtown Manhattan traffic can experience heavy congestion, particularly between 4:30 PM and 7:30 PM on theater performance evenings (especially Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays). Plan to arrive at least 45 to 60 minutes before curtain time to allow for one-way street navigation and valet intake. Pre-booking a digital parking reservation online is highly encouraged to lock in lower promotional rates and secure guaranteed entry, as drive-up rates in Times Square carry premium congestion pricing. Remember that New York City imposes a mandatory 18.375% parking tax, though Manhattan residents with an official parking tax exemption certificate can qualify for a reduced municipal rate.
