Facility Overview

Situated directly beneath the iconic One Astor Plaza skyscraper in the vibrant heart of Midtown Manhattan's Theater District, Times Square Parking - Valet Garage (officially operated as City Parking - 1515 Broadway Garage LLC) provides a secure, fully covered subterranean parking solution. The facility operates as an indoor multi-level valet garage with dual drive-in entry portals located on the cross-streets at 217 West 44th Street and 216 West 45th Street, positioned between Seventh Avenue and Eighth Avenue. The facility is fully staffed by professional valet attendants around the clock. Because this is an underground urban garage with tight turning radii and low ceilings, there is an absolute maximum vertical clearance limit of 6 feet 0 inches (6'0" / 72 inches). The facility is ideally suited for compacts, sedans, crossovers, and standard mid-size vehicles. Larger passenger vehicles such as full-size SUVs, minivans, and small pickup trucks can be accommodated provided they measure strictly under 6'0", though they are subject to on-site NYC oversize vehicle surcharge fees. Due to ceiling limits, ramp slopes, and specialized stacking systems, cargo vans, high-roof commercial vans, lifted trucks, exotic supercars, and Tesla Cybertrucks cannot be accommodated.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Navigating Midtown Manhattan requires strategic routing due to dense pedestrian plazas and one-way streets. Drivers can access the garage via two convenient ingress points: entering 217 West 44th Street traveling eastbound from Eighth Avenue toward Seventh Avenue (look for the Junior's bakery landmark signage and illuminated red '24 Hr Parking' banners), or entering 216 West 45th Street traveling westbound from Seventh Avenue toward Eighth Avenue. Exiting drivers feed directly into Midtown cross-town corridors, facilitating straightforward access west toward Tenth and Eleventh Avenues, leading directly to the Lincoln Tunnel (I-495) for New Jersey transit or the West Side Highway (Route 9A) for northbound and southbound highway connections. For travelers linking up with mass transit, the facility sits directly atop the Times Square-42nd Street subway complex (serving the 1, 2, 3, 7, N, Q, R, W, and S trains) and is just one block north of the 42nd St-Port Authority Bus Terminal station (A, C, E lines) and commuter bus lines.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Due to high congestion throughout the Theater District, plan to arrive at least 30 to 45 minutes prior to scheduled theater curtain times or dining reservations. Post-show vehicle retrieval can take 20 to 30 minutes during simultaneous matinee or evening Broadway dismissals; plan your departure accordingly. Pre-booking via online parking apps guarantees your spot and locks in discounted digital rates compared to higher drive-up posted prices. Remember that physical vehicle keys must be left with the valet attendant upon arrival. If driving an SUV, crossover, or minivan, be prepared for standard New York City oversize surcharges assessed upon arrival. Lastly, measure vehicle height carefully: roof racks, bike carriers, or roof cargo boxes exceeding the strict 6'0" height limit will be turned away by garage staff.
