Facility Overview

GMC Parking - Parkanlex Garage, situated at 115 East 75th Street, offers a premier indoor valet parking experience on Manhattan's prestigious Upper East Side. Occupying a historic structure with architectural roots dating back to the late 19th century within the Upper East Side Historic District, this fully covered, multi-level parking garage combines classic New York heritage with modern valet management. Drivers pull into a sheltered receiving bay where professional garage attendants handle vehicle parking and retrieval, keeping operations swift and organized.

Due to the garage's indoor multi-level layout and urban ramp geometry, the facility is optimized for standard passenger vehicles, compact sedans, luxury sports cars, and midsize crossovers. Standard full-size SUVs can generally be accommodated subject to typical Manhattan oversize surcharges, while 18-passenger vans, high-cube commercial trucks, and elevated camper vans exceed height and turning clearances and are not permitted on-site.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

The facility is situated on East 75th Street, an eastbound one-way cross street easily accessible from Fifth Avenue or Park Avenue. Its position between Park and Lexington ensures convenient ingress before reaching heavier commercial avenues like 3rd Avenue. Exiting eastbound provides straightforward routing toward Second Avenue, First Avenue, and the FDR Drive entry ramps at East 71st Street or East 79th Street for direct transit along Manhattan's East River corridor.

For commuters transitioning to New York City public transit, the location is exceptionally well-connected:

• Subway: The 77th Street subway station (serving the 4 and 6 Lexington Avenue local lines) is only two short blocks away at Lexington Ave and 77th St. The 72nd Street station (Q train on Second Avenue) is also within a 7-minute walk.
• MTA Bus Lines: Immediate connections via the M101, M102, and M103 buses running along Lexington and Third Avenues, as well as the M1, M2, M3, and M4 routes along Madison and Fifth Avenues.

Visitor & Driver Tips

• Mind the Operating Window: The garage operates from 6:00 AM to 12:00 AM daily. While overnight parking is welcome, vehicle retrieval is not possible during overnight closure hours (12:00 AM to 6:00 AM).
• Pre-Book During Peak Hours: Because mid-morning medical appointments and weekend park visits fill stalls quickly, reserving your space ahead via ParkMobile or SpotHero ensures guaranteed entry.
• Oversize Vehicle Fees: If driving an extended-wheelbase crossover, large SUV, or pickup truck, expect a standard NYC oversize fee collected by the attendant at exit.
• Approach Carefully: East 75th Street is a residential block with frequent deliveries; approach slowly after turning east off Park Avenue and look for the garage signage on the north (left) side of the street.
