Facility Overview

City Parking - 660 5th Avenue Garage LLC is a premium indoor parking facility situated in the heart of Midtown Manhattan at 2 W 53rd St (with primary garage ramp access located along West 53rd Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues). Serving the prestigious 660 Fifth Avenue commercial tower and the vibrant Midtown cultural corridor, this location operates as a fully covered, multi-level indoor valet facility. Upon arrival, drivers hand their keys to professional on-site valet attendants who manage vehicle maneuvering, positioning, and retrieval within a secure, weather-protected garage deck.

Vehicle suitability is an essential consideration when planning your visit. The facility maintains a strict maximum vertical clearance limit of 6 feet 6 inches (6'6"). It is ideally configured for standard passenger cars, compact vehicles, sedans, wagons, and compact-to-midsize crossover SUVs. Due to spatial layout and ramp turning radiuses, large full-size SUVs (such as the Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Tahoe, and Ford Expedition), high-roof cargo vans, and commercial pickup trucks are strictly prohibited. Drivers of low-profile luxury vehicles and sedans will find comfortable, managed access under direct valet supervision.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

The garage sits directly in one of Manhattan's most internationally recognized cultural, commercial, and entertainment districts, making it an extraordinary home base for tourists, theatergoers, and daily commuters:

• The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA): Located directly adjacent on the very same block, just seconds away on foot.
• Rockefeller Center & Top of the Rock: Less than a 4-minute walk south (0.2 miles), offering access to the observation deck, skating rink, NBC Studios, and seasonal holiday festivities.
• Radio City Music Hall: A convenient 5-minute walk (0.2 miles) southwest, perfect for attending stage shows, concerts, and the Christmas Spectacular.
• Fifth Avenue Shopping Corridor: Just steps to the east, placing premier retailers like Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman, and Tiffany & Co. within a 3- to 6-minute stroll.
• St. Patrick's Cathedral: A quick 4-minute walk southeast across Fifth Avenue.
• Central Park South & Grand Army Plaza: Approximately an 8-minute walk north (0.4 miles) to the iconic southern gates of Central Park.
• Broadway Theater District: Roughly an 8- to 10-minute walk west, providing effortless parking away from heavy Broadway traffic gridlock.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress to the garage is positioned on West 53rd Street, a westbound one-way thoroughfare running between Fifth Avenue and Sixth Avenue (Avenue of the Americas). Drivers should approach by traveling southbound on Fifth Avenue or turning west onto 53rd Street. Because Midtown cross streets can experience heavy vehicular congestion—particularly during weekday afternoon rush hours and the winter holiday peak—drivers are advised to merge toward the left lane of 53rd Street to prepare for the ramp entrance.

Exiting traffic flows directly onto West 53rd Street heading toward Sixth Avenue, providing straightforward routing toward uptown or downtown Manhattan avenues. For drivers connecting to regional highway arteries, 53rd Street allows cross-town passage toward the West Side Highway (NY-9A) via 54th or 56th Streets, or heading east toward the FDR Drive via 53rd and 61st Streets. Those connecting with public transit will appreciate that the 5th Avenue-53rd Street Subway Station (servicing the E and M trains) is situated directly at the corner, with the 47-50th Streets - Rockefeller Center Station (B, D, F, M trains) only three blocks south.

Visitor & Driver Tips

• Verify Operating Gate Hours: The garage operates from 6:00 AM to 12:00 AM midnight Monday through Friday, and 7:00 AM to 12:00 AM midnight on Saturday and Sunday. While overnight parking is permitted, vehicles cannot be picked up or dropped off while the garage doors are locked between midnight and the morning opening hour.
• Book Ahead Online: Midtown parking spaces fill up rapidly, especially on weekends and matinee theater afternoons. Reserving your space in advance via ParkMobile or ParkWhiz locks in your spot and frequently saves money over drive-up posted rates.
• Check Your Vehicle Size: Remember the strict 6'6" clearance height and vehicle restrictions. Drivers of oversized SUVs (Escalades, Suburbans, Navigators) should book alternate high-clearance lots to avoid refusal upon arrival.
• Have Your Digital Pass Ready: When turning off 53rd Street, keep your smartphone confirmation or QR barcode open and ready to show the valet attendant for rapid intake.
