Facility Overview
Located in the beating heart of Midtown Manhattan’s Theater District, the iPark facility at 790 7th Avenue (often accessed along West 51st Street between Broadway and 7th Avenue) offers convenient and secure valet-operated indoor parking. Managed by iPark, one of New York City’s most established parking operators, this multi-level covered garage ensures vehicles are shielded from winter snow, summer heat, and urban elements. While standard passenger sedans, crossovers, and compact SUVs can navigate the facility smoothly, drivers of oversized vehicles such as full-size SUVs (like Chevrolet Suburbans or Tahoes) and full-size pickup trucks should anticipate an additional on-site oversize fee. Commercial vans with high roofs and vehicles with roof racks are generally unsuitable due to standard subterranean clearance limits (typically 6\'8\").
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
This parking garage is positioned within steps of New York City’s most sought-after cultural, theatrical, and commercial landmarks:
- Broadway Theaters: Just moments away from premier stages including the Gershwin Theatre (home of Wicked), the Broadway Theatre, the Winter Garden Theatre, and the Ambassador Theatre, all reachable within a 2- to 5-minute stroll.
- Carnegie Hall & City Center: Located less than 6 blocks north (roughly a 6-minute walk), making it a top choice for classical performances and concert events.
- Radio City Music Hall & Rockefeller Center: Situated about 3 blocks east (a 5- to 7-minute walk), ideal for holiday shows, the Top of the Rock observation deck, and NBC Studios tours.
- Times Square & Father Duffy Square: Only 4 blocks south (around a 5-minute walk) to the world-famous crossroads, neon billboards, and flagship retail shopping.
- Central Park: A pleasant 8- to 10-minute walk straight up 7th Avenue brings visitors directly to Central Park South and Columbus Circle.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
The garage is located on 7th Avenue with access points commonly situated off the cross street at 209 W 51st Street (a one-way eastbound street connecting 8th Avenue to Broadway/7th Avenue). Because 7th Avenue runs southbound and traffic can become dense during Broadway matinee and evening showtimes, drivers are encouraged to plan routes via 8th Avenue or 10th Avenue when approaching from the West Side Highway (NY-9A). Exiting back to major arterial routes like the Lincoln Tunnel or FDR Drive requires mindful navigation through Midtown grid traffic. For multi-modal commuters, the location offers immediate transit links, with the 50th Street Subway Station (1 line) and 49th Street Subway Station (N, R, W lines) directly around the corner, as well as the 7th Avenue B, D, E train station mere seconds away on 53rd Street.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Traffic in the Broadway corridor spikes significantly between 6:30 PM and 8:00 PM on show nights, as well as on Wednesday and Saturday matinee afternoons. It is strongly advised to arrive at least 45 minutes prior to curtain call to allow valet attendants sufficient time to intake your vehicle. Oversized vehicle fees (typically $10–$15 extra per day) are charged on site for larger SUVs, minivans, and pickup trucks. Reserving your parking spot ahead of time via online platforms guarantees garage access during peak theatre periods and locks in favorable promotional rates compared to drive-up window prices.
