Facility Overview
Adams Tower Parking is a secure, professionally managed indoor parking garage situated within the lower levels of the prestigious Adams Tower residential building at 351 East 84th Street in Manhattan\'s charming Yorkville neighborhood on the Upper East Side. Offering full-service valet parking, this clean and well-lit covered facility protects vehicles from the elements year-round. Due to standard underground architectural clearance in residential Manhattan high-rises (typically around 6 feet 5 inches), standard passenger cars, compact SUVs, and crossovers fit comfortably. Full-size pickup trucks, commercial vans, and high-roof vehicles exceed clearance limits and cannot be accommodated. Drivers of mid-to-large SUVs should also note that standard Manhattan oversize vehicle surcharges apply upon arrival.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Because East 84th Street is a one-way street heading west, drivers should approach from First Avenue and watch for the garage entrance on the north (right-hand) side of the street. Pre-booking a spot through digital reservation apps is strongly recommended during weekend evenings and holiday periods to lock in preferential rates and guarantee space. Allow a few extra minutes upon departure during morning or evening peak rush hours for attendants to retrieve your vehicle from the indoor deck.
