Facility Overview
The parking facility located at 111 E 82nd St in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York, serves as a vital neighborhood resource in a dense urban environment. This facility is a multi-level enclosed parking structure designed to accommodate standard passenger vehicles. Due to the historical and architectural nature of the Upper East Side, drivers of full-size pickup trucks, high-roof vans, or oversized commercial vehicles should exercise caution, as standard clearance limits typically apply. We recommend confirming specific height restrictions with the on-site attendant upon arrival if your vehicle exceeds standard SUV dimensions.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a smooth experience, we highly recommend pre-booking your space via mobile parking platforms if available, as inventory in this neighborhood is often limited. Always check your GPS for real-time traffic updates on 82nd St, as local traffic can be unpredictable. If you are attending a major exhibit opening or special event at the nearby museums, arrive at least 30 minutes earlier than your intended time to avoid congestion at the garage entrance.
