Chatham Parking

Roughly between Sutton Place and the FDR, Chatham Parking sits right where the East Side’s high-rise blocks meet the river. The garage handles everything from daily commuter spots to overnight stashing without drama. Floor-to-ceiling spots keep wheels off the street, which means double-parked cars and tickets drop noticeably once you turn in.

The entrance is at 310 E 48th St, New York, NY 10017, tucked between a couple of service alleys so traffic glides past smoothly. It’s a plain concrete box in daylight, but after dark the whole block lights up and the security cameras swing on. A quick call gets a lane open, and they’ll even take your plate on file so you don’t fumble paperwork tomorrow.

You can leave a car for a week, swing by for a one-hour express wash while it waits, or just grab a metered spot allotment if the garage is full. Need directions? Hit the map before you leave; it updates lane availability and elevator status in real time. Call (212) 838-1088 for the fastest lane or entry code request.
