Radio City Music Hall parking is usually the first worry for anyone driving in for a show: the theater has no lot of its own, so drivers end up in commercial garages on the Midtown side streets and then walk back through the crowds afterward. Our private transportation to Radio City Music Hall takes that step away. A chauffeur collects you at home in the Hudson Valley or Westchester, drops you near the entrance at Sixth Avenue and 50th Street, and meets you again at a planned spot once the curtain comes down.
Driving yourself means timing the Midtown traffic, finding a space, paying whatever the garage charges on a busy night, and then waiting for your own car alongside everyone else leaving the same performance. A Radio City Music Hall parking garage also adds a walk at both ends, which matters when the party includes small children or older relatives.
With a reserved vehicle, you are dropped off and it moves on. Nobody in your party has to drive home after a late performance, and the return meeting point is agreed before the doors open. For a day that also includes lunch or a stroll past the Rockefeller Center tree, book by the hour: hourly car service keeps the chauffeur nearby and includes the stops in the booking.
The Christmas Spectacular starring the Rockettes runs through the holiday season, with each year’s dates listed on Radio City Music Hall’s official site. It is also when Midtown is at its most crowded: the tree at Rockefeller Center is a short walk away, skaters fill the rink, and the sidewalks on Fifth and Sixth Avenues slow to a shuffle.
Picture a family of five from Rockland County with tickets for an afternoon show who want to see the tree and have dinner afterward. On an hourly booking, the chauffeur drops everyone close to the theater, waits in the area during the performance, then takes the family to dinner and home, with no train timetable or garage ticket to think about.
Bigger parties, such as cousins, a club or several families sharing the day, travel down together in the 12-passenger Sprinter party bus. If the group wants more of the city after dark, a night tour of New York City can follow the show.
Curb space near the theater is scarce on show nights. Sixth Avenue carries heavy traffic, the side streets are narrow, and police may close lanes as a crowd lets out. We drop you as close to the entrance as traffic allows and, before the doors open, agree on a pickup point a short walk away where the vehicle can stop safely. If it is not there when you reach that point, call dispatch right away instead of walking the block to look for it.
Concerts work the same way, but the finish is harder to predict than a scheduled holiday performance, so an hourly booking through our concert transportation keeps the chauffeur close until the encore ends.
Out-of-town visitors can land at any of the three major airports, and the drive into Midtown depends heavily on the hour. If you arrive at Kennedy and are staying near Rockefeller Center, our JFK to Manhattan service takes you from the terminal to the hotel first.
Leave a generous gap between landing and curtain time, because a delayed flight can swallow the margin before an opening number. A car service to Radio City Music Hall straight from the terminal only makes sense with light bags and plenty of time; otherwise, dropping suitcases at the hotel is far easier than bringing them into a theater lobby.
Madison Square Garden is a short drive south, and the same reserved service picks up from any hotel, office or apartment in Manhattan and runs to the other arenas and neighborhoods across New York City that we serve. A matinee followed by a game at the Garden can sit on one hourly booking.
LaGuardia, in Queens, is the nearest of the major commercial airports. Newark and Kennedy are both farther out, and on a weekday afternoon either can take considerably longer than the map suggests. If you can choose your flight, LaGuardia usually leaves the most room before a show.
Yes, on an hourly booking. The chauffeur waits in the area rather than at the door, since stopping on Sixth Avenue during a performance is rarely possible, and comes to the agreed pickup point when you call.
Mention it when you book. We plan the drop-off as close to the entrance as traffic allows and choose a pickup point with the shortest practical walk. On busy holiday days, a pickup slightly after the crowd thins can make that walk much easier.
Send the show date, curtain time, headcount and pickup town through the quote request form, and we will propose a vehicle size plus a departure time that has everyone seated before the lights go down. For a simple transfer to or from the theater, you can also reserve on our booking page or call (877) 811-8400.
