About Me

Just a few extra feet of living space can make a world of difference. One of my favorite activities is helping my fellow city dwellers figure out how to make the most of their living spaces without spending a lot. You’d be surprised at how little extra room you need to make a big difference in your life. Take it from me, over the past 30 years I’ve helped some of Manhattans toughest customers make living a lot more comfortable and I really know what I’m doing. From coming to your home or office to help you figure out how much space you need, to helping you pack it up and move it in, I’ll take care of everything. Our free Storage Taxi (really a van) makes moving items so much easier than trying to cram all of your stuff in the trunk of a cab. If you do have a car, free parking is available at every one of Manhattan Mini Storage’s NYC Mini Storage Units locations.

We also have a New York City Clutter and Storage Mini Blog or come be a fan of ours on our Manhattan Mini Storage Facebook page!!
