I'm picking up a C4 at the end of August. I live in Manhattan. While I do not plan on using the car to get a around the city, I certainly plan on using it a lot to get out of the city. Anyway, wondering if anyone has recommendations for parking garages in the east mid-40s's? Thanks in advance!

OP, you're awesome! Although I don't have to deal with paid garages and attendents, I do drive my 991 to work on a regular basis. In fact I drove it today.
It now shares duties with a 2011 MINI S I picked up in December, but for its first 15 months it was my only car. I do not regret at all racking up the miles and it never gets boring to me. Go for it!

I park in a GGMC garage on 44th off of 3rd Ave. They take good care of my 991 (one or two very minor rear bumper chips in the almost 14 months I've had the car). The manager's name is Fernando, he's a very nice fellow.

The garage on 44th between 5th and 6th seems good... I see tons of Ferraris and other luxury cars.

The Hippodrome Parking Lot? That's my go-to in that area as well. The cars aren't jammed in there and the attendants remember me / take care of me. I usually wind up with a spot right near their station and if there is a line at pick up they just hand me my keys and I can head out without waiting.

I usually drive straight up to the top floor regardless of if the others have space.

It's also reasonably priced in the evenings.

*Two thumbs up*

Thanks eg991. That's one of the garages I was looking into. I noticed that they have an option to pay additional fee to keep car on main floor? Any thoughts on that?

And thanks for the heads up team plutonium. 44th st is perfect, but hoping to be further east for added convenience.

I do keep my car on the main floor. You'll notice there are plenty of cars parked on the main floor too, but to me there's still a benefit in not having the car driven down the windy ramp and parked below ground, where who knows how tightly they pack the cars in. There are usually 2 other 991s parked there (one a base cab and one a S cab) as well as some other higher end cars.

Thanks Eg. Definitely leaning towards the GGMC garage because the main floor option and the entrances on both 44th and 45th.
