About this Location

Facility Overview

Select Parking, operated in partnership with Icon Parking, is a premier covered parking garage conveniently situated at 301 East 57th Street (with dual access frequently noted at 1100 Second Avenue) in the vibrant Midtown East and Sutton Place corridor of Manhattan. Designed to accommodate the fast-paced demands of New York City drivers, this multi-level indoor facility provides full-service valet parking around the clock. The facility accommodates standard passenger cars, sedans, crossovers, and luxury vehicles with ease. While full-size SUVs, pickup trucks, and minivans can be accommodated, standard Manhattan vertical clearance restrictions (typically around 6\'6\" to 6\'8\") apply, and vehicles matching or exceeding the footprint of a Chevrolet Tahoe may be subject to standard oversized vehicle surcharges. High-roof commercial cargo vans and lifted trucks are not suitable due to interior ramp height and clearance limits.

Visitor & Driver Tips

East 57th Street carries steady crosstown traffic, especially during morning and evening rush hours. Approaching from 2nd Avenue southbound or directly from the FDR Drive via 61st Street offers the smoothest entry route. If driving a large SUV, crossover, or light truck, anticipate standard NYC oversized vehicle fees and verify dimensions in advance. Booking your parking reservation ahead of time through digital parking aggregators or Icon Parking can yield substantial discounts compared to posted drive-up window rates.
