Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a seamless experience, we recommend booking your spot in advance, especially during university commencement season or major event days at local theaters. GPS guidance typically routes well to the address, but be mindful of one-way street patterns common in the Upper West Side. Always verify your vehicle height before entry, as oversize charges apply for vehicles exceeding standard dimensions.
