About this Location

Facility Overview

Centerpark East 34th Street Parking Garage, located at 333 East 34th Street between 1st Avenue and 2nd Avenue, provides a premier, secure, and covered parking solution at the intersection of Murray Hill and Kips Bay in Manhattan. Operating as a fully staffed, attended indoor parking facility, it offers round-the-clock surveillance and professional valet services to ensure your vehicle is handled smoothly and safeguarded against the unpredictable elements of New York City weather. The garage accommodates standard sedans, crossovers, and mid-sized SUVs with ease. However, drivers of oversized vehicles, full-size pickup trucks, large passenger vans, or vehicles equipped with roof cargo boxes should check height clearance allowances (standard indoor NYC garage heights typically range from 6\'2\" to 6\'8\") and expect applicable oversized vehicle surcharges upon entry.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Pre-Book Ahead of Time: East 34th Street is heavily trafficked; booking reservations through mobile parking apps ahead of your trip guarantees a reserved stall and secures lower promotional daily rates.
Prepare for One-Way Traffic: East 34th Street is a wide two-way crosstown boulevard, but approaching from 2nd Avenue heading east toward 1st Avenue provides the smoothest curb approach into the garage ramp.
Be Aware of Oversize Fees: Standard rates apply to compacts and sedans; large SUVs (Suburban, Escalade, Expedition) or cargo-carrying vehicles will incur an on-site oversized vehicle surcharge payable at checkout.
Account for Peak Medical Hours: Morning appointment hours (8:00 AM – 10:30 AM) at nearby hospitals can cause localized traffic slowdowns along 34th Street and 1st Avenue; allow an extra 10–15 minutes for check-in.
