Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Manhattan’s charming Greenwich Village and West Village historic area, GMC Parking - Travelers Garage at 160 W 10th Street provides drivers with a secure, dependable, and fully attended indoor parking sanctuary. Housed within a classic multi-story Manhattan garage facility, the site offers comprehensive valet operations managed by professional attendants who handle parking maneuvers seamlessly in one of the city’s densest neighborhoods.

A standout attribute of this facility is its generous vertical clearance limit of 8 feet 4 inches (8'4"), which is significantly taller than many historic downtown parking decks. This allows comfortable access for standard passenger sedans, crossover SUVs, minivans, and full-size SUVs. Standard pickup trucks can clear the overhead opening, though oversized vehicle surcharges apply on-site in accordance with standard New York City garage regulations. Commercial high-roof cargo vans and extended utility vehicles exceeding standard stall lengths should confirm dimensional acceptance with staff in advance.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Finding parking in the West Village can be notoriously challenging due to narrow, tree-lined streets and strict residential curbside restrictions. GMC Parking - Travelers Garage places motorists within effortless walking distance of Manhattan’s premier cultural landmarks, dining destinations, and entertainment venues:

• Historic Music & Comedy Venues: Located just a 2-minute stroll from the historic Village Vanguard jazz club on 7th Avenue South, as well as an easy 6-to-8 minute walk to the Comedy Cellar, Blue Note Jazz Club, and Smalls Jazz Club.
• Theaters & Performance Spaces: Minutes away on foot from the Lucille Lortel Theatre (4-minute walk), Minetta Lane Theatre (6-minute walk), and the Skirball Center for the Performing Arts (10-minute walk).
• Historic Landmarks & Parks: Only 3 blocks (under 5 minutes) from Christopher Park and the Stonewall National Monument / Stonewall Inn. Washington Square Park is a pleasant 8-to-10 minute walk east.
• University & Campus Hubs: Ideally positioned for parents, faculty, and visiting scholars headed to New York University (NYU) facilities around Washington Square and Greenwich Village.
• West Village Dining & Retail: Steps away from renowned culinary favorites including Via Carota, Buvette, I Sodi, The Waverly Inn, and the stylish boutiques along Bleecker Street and Hudson Street.
• Hudson River Waterfront & Meatpacking District: A scenic 10-to-14 minute walk west brings visitors to Pier 45 at Hudson River Park, the High Line southern terminus, and the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress to the garage is located on West 10th Street between Waverly Place and Seventh Avenue South. Because West 10th Street is a one-way street traveling eastbound, drivers arriving from the West Side Highway (NY-9A) can navigate easily via Christopher Street or West 4th Street to cut across to 10th Street. For regional commuters, the facility offers swift connectivity to the Holland Tunnel heading south, as well as the Lincoln Tunnel via Route 9A heading north.

For those continuing across the boroughs via mass transit, the garage is virtually unmatched in convenience:

• Subway Access: The Christopher Street - Sheridan Square station (1 train) is only one block away (approx. 2-minute walk). The major express transit hub at West 4th Street - Washington Square (A, C, E, B, D, F, and M trains) is reachable in less than 5 minutes on foot.
• PATH Train: The 9th Street and Christopher Street PATH stations are both within a 5-to-7 minute walk, facilitating hassle-free interstate commutes to and from Hoboken, Jersey City, and Newark.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Navigating lower Manhattan traffic requires a little foresight. West 10th Street features moderate one-way traffic, so program your navigation system directly to 160 W 10th Street to avoid circling winding Village street grids. Peak dining hours on Thursday through Saturday evenings create high demand; reserving your parking spot ahead of time via digital reservation apps ensures guaranteed entry and unlocks early-bird or evening discount rates. Note that while the garage is open 24 hours on Friday and Saturday, standard weekday operation spans 6:00 AM to 2:00 AM, so plan late-night weekend retrievals accordingly. If driving an oversized SUV, minivan, or truck, factor in standard Manhattan oversize service fees upon arrival.
