1675 Broadway Garage

Midtown parking doesn’t have to be a scavenger hunt. 1675 Broadway Garage sits at 225 W 52nd St, a block that sees more foot traffic than some small towns. It’s one of those functional city fixtures that doesn’t need a flashy sign—just a reliable spot to leave your car while you deal with the rest of Manhattan. The garage handles standard and oversized vehicles, though anyone who’s parallel-parked a SUV on these streets already knows the value of a dedicated space.

This isn’t a valet service or a boutique operation; it’s a parking garage in the most straightforward sense. No frills, no membership tiers, just a place to stash your car between errands or a Broadway show. The phone line, (212) 245-2125, connects directly to someone who can confirm availability or rates—useful when you’re circling the block and need a quick answer. Hourly, daily, and monthly options exist, though the specifics depend on demand, as with any garage in this part of town.

Finding it the first time is easier with a map, especially if you’re coming from the theater district’s one-way maze. The entrance is on 52nd between Broadway and 8th, where the sidewalks narrow and the crosswalks fill fast. A quick check of the directions before you arrive saves the usual last-minute lane changes. Like most garages here, it’s cashless—another small mercy in a city that’s phasing out coins and bills.

The block itself is pure New York: a mix of pre-war buildings, tourist traps, and the occasional jazz club holding on from the ’50s. Parking here means you’re steps from the 21 Club’s wrought-iron facade or the neon of Times Square, depending on which way you walk. It’s the kind of location where the garage’s real selling point isn’t the space itself but the fact that it exists at all.
