Facility Overview
Situated in the heart of Yorkville on Manhattan\'s prestigious Upper East Side, MPG: Manhattan Parking (MP 93) at 340 E 93rd St offers a secure, professionally managed covered valet garage facility. The garage features an attended indoor parking structure designed to shield vehicles from city weather while providing convenient, around-the-clock parking services. Due to urban multi-level indoor structural specifications, the garage comfortably accommodates standard sedans, compacts, crossovers, and mid-sized SUVs. Full-size pickup trucks, passenger vans, and vehicles with elevated cargo carriers or extended roof racks should check clearance upon arrival, as standard Manhattan parking height restrictions apply (typically around 6 feet 5 inches), and oversize surcharges are standard practice for larger vehicle profiles.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
This parking facility is exceptionally positioned for both residential convenience and recreational exploration on the Upper East Side. Within a 5 to 10-minute walk, visitors can reach Carl Schurz Park and the historic Gracie Mansion along the East River promenade, or head to Asphalt Green, a premier sports and fitness complex located just three blocks away on 90th Street and York Avenue. Cultural institutions including the renowned 92nd Street Y (92NY) and Ballet Academy East are within easy walking distance. A brisk 15-minute walk west brings drivers straight to Central Park and Museum Mile along Fifth Avenue, home to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, and Neue Galerie. The location is also convenient for medical appointments at nearby health facilities, including Metropolitan Hospital Center and Mount Sinai doctors\' offices.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Located on the southeast (left-hand) side of East 93rd Street between 1st Avenue and 2nd Avenue, the garage is straightforward to navigate. East 93rd Street is a one-way street heading westbound, allowing drivers arriving via 1st Avenue or the FDR Drive to make an easy turn directly toward the garage ramp. For highway access, the FDR Drive entry and exit ramps at 96th Street are only a few blocks north, allowing drivers to bypass heavy Midtown congestion when arriving from or departing to Westchester, Long Island, Brooklyn, or Queens via the RFK Bridge. Public transit connections are outstanding: the Second Avenue Subway (Q line) station at 96th Street and 2nd Avenue is merely three blocks away, while the 4, 5, and 6 trains are accessible at 86th Street and Lexington Avenue. North-south surface transit is handled seamlessly by the M15 and M15-SBS buses running along 1st and 2nd Avenues.
