About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated along the vibrant Lexington Avenue corridor in East Harlem, near the northern cusp of Manhattan’s Upper East Side, the MPG Parking Lot at 1559 Lexington Avenue offers a reliable and professionally managed parking solution. This multi-level indoor parking garage provides valet service and sheltered protection from urban weather year-round. Given its urban Manhattan garage layout, the facility accommodates standard sedans, crossovers, and compact SUVs with ease. Drivers of full-size SUVs, pickup trucks, or vehicles equipped with roof racks should take note of standard height clearances (typically around 6 feet 6 inches to 6 feet 8 inches) and anticipate potential oversize vehicle surcharges common to New York City parking facilities.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Lexington Avenue experiences heavy bus and commuter traffic during morning and evening rush hours; allow extra travel time during these peak periods. If driving a larger vehicle (such as a Chevy Tahoe, Ford F-150, or Cadillac Escalade), check for oversize surcharges upon arrival. Booking your parking reservation in advance through digital apps frequently secures discounted rates and ensures a guaranteed stall during peak hospital visiting hours and weekends.
