About this Location

Facility Overview

Conveniently nestled in the prestigious Plaza District of Midtown East, MPG Parking Garage at 59 E 56th St offers secure, professional indoor valet parking in one of Manhattan\'s busiest retail and corporate epicenters. Positioned on East 56th Street between Madison Avenue and Park Avenue, this covered parking facility provides a seamless, sheltered parking experience that shields your vehicle from inclement weather. The garage accommodates standard passenger vehicles, sedans, crossovers, and luxury sports cars.
