The local take

The Warwick New York is about 0.31 km from the venue in a straight line and Hotel Edison, on West 47th Street, about 0.59 km. The New Yorker, close to Penn Station, and Arlo Midtown, a short walk from the Port Authority Bus Terminal, are about 1.44 and 1.29 km away in a straight line.

Stay close enough to walk, or plan the subway: the venue's directions page names the 1 to 50th St./Broadway and the B, D, F and M to 47th-50th/Rockefeller Center, and of those two stations, only 47-50 Sts-Rockefeller Ctr is on the MTA's list of accessible stations. Bags don't need to be clear, but they must fit under your seat and be no larger than 22 x 14 x 9 inches; all bags are x-rayed, and there's no bag or coat check. All exits are final.

Rockefeller Center and Radio City itself. The Warwick describes itself as "moments from Central Park, Rockefeller Centre, Times Square."

To the venue
MTA's LaGuardia guide recommends the free LaGuardia Link Q70 bus, which runs nonstop from Terminals B/C to Jackson Heights–Roosevelt Av/74 St–Broadway, about 15 minutes in typical traffic. From there, the F train stops at 47-50 Sts-Rockefeller Ctr, two blocks from the venue. No official page publishes a combined trip time from LaGuardia.
After the show
No official walking route is published; the Warwick is about 0.31 km from the venue in a straight line. The venue's FAQ lists entrances on 6th Avenue at 50th and 51st Streets and at the Box Office Lobby, and all exits are final.
The tradeoff
The Warwick adds a $35-plus-tax facility fee a night for all guests, and valet is its only parking, at $80 a night for a sedan or $90 for an SUV or larger.

Doors and arrival

The venue's FAQ, directions and plan-your-visit pages publish no doors-open time. Box office hours differ from doors: Monday–Saturday noon–6 p.m., and on event days until 30 minutes after the event begins.

Bags

Bags don't have to be clear, but they must fit comfortably under your seat; bags larger than 22 x 14 x 9 inches are prohibited, all bags are screened with x-ray technology, and there's no area to check bags, coats or other belongings. Prohibited items include weapons, mace or pepper spray, laser pointers, fireworks, aerosol cans, signs, banners and flags, noisemaking devices, balls and frisbees, drones, hoverboards and skateboards, outside food and beverage, professional or zoom-lens cameras, tripods and selfie sticks, and audio or video recording devices other than phones; some events may be "device free," restricting phone use too.

Box office

The box office is on-site, through the Box Office Lobby entrance on 6th Avenue between 50th and 51st Streets. It's open Monday–Saturday, noon–6 p.m., and closed Sunday. On event days it stays open until 30 minutes after the event begins, and for a Sunday event it opens at noon.

Venue information
Access-A-Ride

Access-A-Ride drop-off and pickup are in front of the Box Office Lobby on 6th Avenue between 50th and 51st Streets. Post-event pickup timing "is dependent on multiple factors"; for concerts, the venue says the acts make their schedule known 1–2 days before the event. Call 888-609-7599 for help.

Venue information
MTA buses

The venue's directions page says to take MTA Buses M5, M6, M7 or M27/M50 to Rockefeller Center/50th St. It gives no frequency or last-departure time, so check MTA's own bus schedules.

Venue information
Commuter trains and PATH

The directions page says: from Grand Central Terminal, go one stop west to 5th Avenue-Bryant Park and transfer to the uptown trains; from Penn Station, walk one block east to 34th St. and Avenue of the Americas for the uptown trains; from New Jersey, take PATH to 33rd St. and connect to the uptown trains. The page's line icons for these steps don't render, so it doesn't legibly name the subway lines it means.

Venue information
NY Waterway ferry from New Jersey

The directions page says NY Waterway ferries run from Weehawken, Hoboken, Jersey City and Belford to Midtown/W39th St, in as little as 8 minutes, where a free NY Waterway shuttle continues to Radio City. No fare or shuttle schedule is published on that page.
