Facility Overview

The Icon Parking facility located at 249-253 W 43rd St, New York, NY 10036, is a strategically positioned indoor parking garage situated in the heart of Manhattan. As part of the Icon Parking network, this multi-level facility offers professional valet-style management, which is typical for Midtown parking to maximize space efficiency.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a smooth experience, we highly recommend pre-booking your spot through major parking apps like SpotHero or the official Icon Parking website, especially for weekend performances or high-attendance holiday events in Times Square. Event-day surge pricing is common; securing a reservation can lock in a significantly lower rate. Always check your GPS for one-way street directions in the area, as traffic patterns on W 43rd St can change due to pedestrianization efforts or construction.
