About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Midtown East Manhattan, the 17 E. 54th St Parking garage provides safe, sheltered valet parking in one of New York City’s most bustling retail, corporate, and cultural corridors. Located on East 54th Street between Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue, this indoor covered garage shields vehicles from inclement weather while offering premier curb-to-car service. The facility has a vehicle clearance ceiling of 6\'10\" (2.08 meters), comfortably accommodating standard sedans, compact crossovers, and standard mid-size SUVs. Larger pickup trucks and high-profile passenger vans should review height limitations prior to arrival, and drivers should note that oversized vehicles may incur an additional on-site fee.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because East 54th Street is a westbound thoroughfare, approach the facility from Madison Avenue or Park Avenue to avoid circumnavigating heavy pedestrian cross-traffic near Fifth Avenue. During midday retail rush hours and holiday seasons, street congestion can intensify, so reserve your guaranteed stall ahead of time via digital parking platforms like ParkChirp. Keep your physical claim ticket safely in hand; standard reservations do not permit in-and-out privileges once parked.
