Facility Overview
Situated in the heart of Manhattan\'s Upper West Side, City Parking at 150 Amsterdam Avenue offers a premier, secure, and fully covered indoor parking solution in the vibrant Lincoln Square neighborhood. Positioned along Amsterdam Avenue between West 66th and West 67th Streets, this multi-level underground parking facility provides valet-assisted parking staffed by experienced attendants.
