Facility Overview
403 East 60th Street Parking (operated as 403 East 60th Street Parking LLC Garage) is a premier indoor parking facility positioned on the vibrant border of Manhattan\'s Upper East Side and Sutton Place neighborhoods. Situated at 403–407 East 60th Street between 1st Avenue and York Avenue, this multi-level covered garage offers full valet service and 24/7 on-site attendant supervision. The facility shields vehicles from harsh weather and street-side hazards. While standard sedans, compact vehicles, and mid-sized crossover SUVs are seamlessly accommodated, prospective drivers operating full-size SUVs, extended pickup trucks, or high-roof commercial vans should note that Manhattan covered garages generally maintain vertical clearance limits (typically 6'6") and apply standard oversize vehicle surcharges.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Because East 60th Street experiences heavy flow toward the FDR Drive and Queensboro Bridge during the afternoon and evening rush hours, plan extra time when exiting the facility between 4:30 PM and 7:00 PM. Reserving your parking spot ahead of time using ParkMobile or SpotHero ensures guaranteed entry and often unlocks discounted online rates compared to posted drive-up tariffs. Upon arrival, pull into the garage apron and allow the valet attendant to issue a claim check and inspect your vehicle. Make sure to declare oversized vehicles and EV charging needs to the staff immediately upon check-in.
