About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Manhattan’s Upper West Side, 88th Garage Corp (operated in partnership with iPark) provides secure, professional indoor parking at 101 W 88th St, New York, NY 10024. Positioned on the north side of West 88th Street between Columbus Avenue and Amsterdam Avenue, this covered, multi-level parking garage offers premier valet services to both neighborhood residents and visiting drivers. The facility comfortably accommodates standard sedans, compact cars, crossovers, and mid-sized SUVs. Like most subterranean Manhattan garages, vertical clearance is limited to approximately 6 feet 6 inches (check on-site signage for exact measurements), making it unsuitable for high-roof commercial vans, lifted trucks, or vehicles with rooftop cargo carriers. Oversized vehicles such as full-size pickup trucks and third-row SUVs may be subject to additional daily oversize surcharges.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because West 88th Street is a residential side street with limited curbside space, maintain a steady speed and keep an eye out for the iPark garage signage on the north side of the block. Peak morning and late-afternoon hours can bring heavier local traffic near Columbus Avenue school zones, so allocate an extra 5 to 10 minutes for drop-off and pickup. If you are driving an SUV, minivan, or truck, verify whether an oversize fee applies upon arrival. Reserving a spot in advance through online booking portals can guarantee space and unlock substantial discounts compared to drive-up posted window rates.
