Well it's not about Madison Square Garden but yes you can drive past the tree but get ready traffic enjoy! We have done it.
You won't get to see much, especially if you are driving. You'll be a block away in heavy traffic. Better to ride in by train, walk a block and see the tree, skating and enjoy the atmosphere. If your looking from a car window, you might just as well watch on TV or a live stream.
