Local Parking

Disabled individuals who possess a New York City Special Parking Permit have the option to park on Broadway and the surrounding streets. Please pay careful attention to the rules and regulations on the back of your permit, which informs you where you may and may not park on New York City streets. Please note that New York City does not honor the blue New York State, New Jersey, Connecticut, or any other out of state issued disabled parking hangtag or license plate. The Department of Transportation will ticket and/or tow cars and vans that do not display the New York City Department of Transportation issued parking placard.

For those individuals with raised-roof vans, some of the indoor parking lots cannot accommodate these vehicles due to low clearance. As a general rule, most outdoor parking lots accept raised-roof vans, however, we encourage you to contact the parking facility directly to confirm their policies.

For more information on parking in New York City, please call the Department of Transportation at 718 433-3100. The Beacon Theatre is not responsible for any parking tickets, vandalism, etc., incurred while parking for a Beacon Theatre event or otherwise.
