Visitor & Driver Tips
Given the high demand for parking in the Upper East Side, we strongly recommend booking your spot in advance if the facility offers digital reservation options. Always arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled appointment or event to account for street congestion. Ensure you check for specific height clearance signs at the entrance if you are driving a large SUV or a vehicle with roof-mounted cargo equipment to avoid any clearance issues.
