  • Event Parking Tips

    Book at Least 24 Hours Ahead

    Event parking fills fast. Same-day availability is rare for popular shows.

    Arrive Early

    Gates open 90 minutes before events. Arriving 2 hours early ensures the best spots.

    Know Your Exit Route

    Post-event traffic is brutal. Garages on 9th and 10th Avenues offer easier escapes westward.

    Consider Post-Event Timing

    Many garages have "night owl" flat rates if you exit after midnight. Grab a late dinner and let traffic clear.

    Knicks & Rangers Game Days

    For sports events, here are specific tips:

  • Weeknight games: Book closer garages—traffic is lighter
  • Weekend games: Park further, walk more—it's often faster
  • Playoffs: Book a week ahead. Seriously.
  • Concert Nights

    Concert crowds are larger and parking fills faster:

  • Major artists: Garage spots sell out days in advance
  • Consider transit: Penn Station is right there
