Facility Overview
Situated in the heart of historic Tribeca in Lower Manhattan, the Icon Parking garage at 42 Harrison Street (also known as Patriot Parking LLC C Garage) delivers secure, covered, full-service valet parking. Tucked on a cobblestone-lined stretch between Greenwich Street and West Street (Route 9A), this underground facility shields your vehicle from harsh weather while eliminating the frustration of hunting for sparse curbside spots in downtown Manhattan. The garage accommodates standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, and standard luxury SUVs; however, drivers of oversized pickup trucks, extended full-size vans, or vehicles outfitted with rooftop cargo boxes should contact the facility in advance or prepare for standard NYC oversize surcharges, as vertical ceiling clearance follows customary Manhattan underground structure limits (typically around 6 feet 6 inches to 6 feet 8 inches).

This prime Tribeca location serves as an exceptional home base for waterfront recreation, cultural outings, and world-class dining. Key destinations within comfortable walking distance include:

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Arriving at 42 Harrison Street is remarkably straightforward compared to deeper Manhattan quarters. Drivers approaching via the West Side Highway (Route 9A / West Street) can smoothly turn east onto Harrison Street, where the clearly branded Icon Parking entrance is visible on the north side of the street just past the Pier 23/25 pedestrian bridge. Exiting onto West Street grants immediate direct access north toward Midtown and the Lincoln Tunnel or south toward the Battery Park Underpass, Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel (I-478), and FDR Drive. Public transit connections are outstanding: the Franklin Street subway station (1 train) is only three blocks east, while the Chambers Street station (1, 2, 3, A, and C trains) is within a brief 6-minute walk, offering rapid cross-borough transit options.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Cobblestone streets around Tribeca can cause brief slowdowns, so approach the entrance ramp gently. Due to high local demand, particularly on sunny weekends near Hudson River Park and during Friday/Saturday dinner rushes, drivers are strongly encouraged to pre-book a parking slot via the Icon Parking app, SpotHero, or ParkWhiz to secure discounted rates and avoid gate drive-up rates. Keep in mind that vehicles classified as oversized (large SUVs, minivans, and pickup trucks) may incur standard New York City valet surcharge fees upon entry.
