Facility Overview
The iPark 790 8th Ave Garage (operated by 790 8th Avenue Parking Corp.) is a premier, fully covered multi-level valet parking facility conveniently situated at 790 8th Avenue in the heart of Midtown Manhattan’s vibrant Theater District. Positioned between West 48th and West 49th Streets—adjacent to the Hilton Garden Inn Times Square—this garage provides seamless off-street vehicle storage directly in one of New York City’s densest cultural and commercial corridors. Because this is an indoor valet facility operating in a classic Midtown layout, it accommodates standard passenger cars, sedans, compact crossovers, and small SUVs. Drivers of oversized vehicles, full-size pickup trucks, cargo vans, and high-roof models should be mindful of NYC parking surcharges and vertical clearances (typically 6’6”), and should note that certain exotic or specialty luxury vehicles may have specific acceptance policies. Professional attendants manage all parking maneuvers, allowing you to drop off your keys and step immediately onto 8th Avenue.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
This garage offers unbeatable proximity to Broadway and Midtown landmarks, making it an essential staging ground for theatergoers, tourists, and dining enthusiasts:

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Eighth Avenue is a wide, northbound one-way artery, offering direct and straightforward approach routes when heading uptown from Chelsea, the Garment District, or via the Lincoln Tunnel (exiting onto 9th or 10th Avenues and looping eastward). The garage entrance is positioned on the right-hand (east) side of 8th Avenue between West 48th and West 49th Streets. While Midtown Manhattan traffic can be busy leading up to curtain calls (7:00 PM–8:00 PM) and post-show dismissals (10:00 PM–11:00 PM), the one-way uptown flow offers a smooth escape toward Central Park South and upper Manhattan. For intermodal commuters and passengers, the 50th Street subway station (serving the C and E lines) is steps away at 50th and 8th Avenue, while the 1 train at 50th & Broadway and the N, R, and W trains at 49th & 7th Avenue are within a three-minute walk.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a frictionless experience in Midtown Manhattan, consider these practical recommendations:
- Reserve in Advance: Midtown garages frequently fill to capacity during weekend matinees and peak evening showtimes. Booking via mobile parking platforms guarantees your space and typically secures discounted flat rates.
- Account for Oversized Vehicle Fees: If you drive a large crossover, SUV, or minivan, New York City garages enforce standard daily oversize surcharges payable on-site.
- Plan Your Approach: Eighth Avenue runs one-way northbound. If approaching from the west side highway (Route 9A) or the Lincoln Tunnel, use West 46th or 48th Street to turn left onto 8th Avenue and merge toward the right curb before reaching West 49th Street.
- Keep Your Claim Ticket Secure: You will receive a physical or digital valet claim check upon arrival; retain it safely to expedite swift vehicle retrieval when exiting.
