EDIT:
UPDATE We found it!!
u/BoweryThrowAway found the parking garage from my description, went there, found my Pop’s rental car, and even sent me photos to confirm it. I honestly can’t believe this.
Thank you to everyone who offered suggestions and took the time to help. The kindness of complete strangers is amazing, and I’m so so so grateful.
Crying tears of joy right now. Reddit came through in a way I never expected. Thank you all!!
I’m hoping someone familiar with Manhattan parking garages might recognize this place.
My father rented a white 2025 Mazda SUV and parked it near Times Square. Unfortunately, he has early-onset Alzheimer’s and completely forgot where he parked.
He spent over 12 hours walking more than 20 miles trying to find it, but had no luck.
These are the details he remembers:
-Parking garage within a 3-mile radius of Times Square
-Older paper ticket machine at the entrance (not digital)
-The machine printed a paper ticket
-Tons of “PARK HEAD IN ONLY” signs throughout the garage
-When entering, you could only drive to the right
-The entrance immediately curved to the right
-He parked around the 5th–7th space on the left, although there were also spaces on the right
-The garage had a white interior
Does this description sound familiar to anyone? Even a guess at which garage it might be would be incredibly appreciated. We’re trying to help him locate the rental car.
Thank you for considering
