Facility Overview
NYC Parking 520 West Parking Corp. (also operating as Icon Parking – Landon Parking LLC Garage) is a premier indoor, covered valet parking facility situated at 520 W 43rd St in Manhattan's dynamic Hell's Kitchen neighborhood. Operating directly beneath The Landon residential building between 10th and 11th Avenues, this garage provides a secure, weather-protected environment staffed continuously by professional attendants. Drivers hand over their keys at the driveway intake, where valets organize and position vehicles within the facility.
Because this location utilizes an indoor lift and mechanical stacking system to optimize parking capacity, there are strict vehicle size and model limitations. The garage is exceptionally suited for sedans, compact crossovers, sports cars, and small station wagons. However, full-size SUVs (such as Chevrolet Suburbans/Tahoes and Lincoln Navigators), large pickup trucks, cargo vans, high-roof conversion vans, and vehicles equipped with roof cargo boxes or bike racks cannot be accommodated. Additionally, due to weight and lift safety guidelines, certain heavy battery-electric vehicles such as Teslas and Rivians are restricted. Drivers of standard-sized passenger cars enjoy convenient, reliable indoor Midtown parking.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Nestled in the western corridor of Midtown Manhattan, 520 W 43rd Street places drivers within effortless walking distance of major theatrical, cultural, and waterfront attractions:
- Jacob K. Javits Convention Center: Situated roughly 6 blocks south (a 10- to 12-minute walk), making it a prime off-site parking choice for major expos, Comic-Con, and international trade shows.
- Times Square & Broadway Theater District: Located just 3 to 4 avenues east (10 to 15 minutes on foot), providing convenient access to world-famous Broadway venues, the Gershwin Theatre, and Theatre Row.
- Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum & Pier 86: Just a 5-minute walk west along 12th Avenue / Hudson River Park.
- Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises (Pier 83): Only two blocks away at West 42nd Street and the Hudson River.
- Hudson River Park & Greenway: A scenic esplanade ideal for walking, cycling, and waterfront recreation, reachable in under 4 minutes.
- Hell's Kitchen Culinary Corridor: 9th and 10th Avenues are famous for hundreds of celebrated international restaurants, bars, and lounges just steps away.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Entering the garage is straightforward. West 43rd Street is a one-way westbound street running from east to west toward the Hudson River. The garage entrance is positioned on the south (left-hand) side of West 43rd Street between 10th and 11th Avenues, clearly marked by prominent garage signage. Because it sits far west of the dense Broadway grid, inbound drivers can bypass much of the core Times Square gridlock by taking the West Side Highway (NY-9A) and turning east onto West 44th or 42nd Street before looping onto 43rd Street.
Exiting the facility offers quick access to the West Side Highway / 12th Avenue for direct travel north to Upper Manhattan and the George Washington Bridge or south to Downtown Manhattan and the Lincoln Tunnel via West 40th/42nd Street. For public transit riders, the 42 St – Port Authority Bus Terminal station (A, C, E subway lines) is approximately a 10-minute walk east, while the 34 St – Hudson Yards station (7 train) and the M12 / M42 crosstown bus routes offer convenient cross-city links.

Visitor & Driver Tips
- Confirm Vehicle Dimensions in Advance: Avoid oversized SUVs, pickup trucks, and vehicles with exterior roof boxes, as the indoor vehicle lifts cannot safely accommodate them.

- Pre-Book on High-Volume Days: When major conferences at the Javits Center or holiday theater schedules align, spaces fill rapidly; pre-purchasing a digital pass guarantees entry.
