What's Open, Closed in New Rochelle New Year's Day

Here is a guide of what might be closed on New Year's Day in New Rochelle.

New Year's Day—Tuesday, Jan. 1— is a federal holiday so government offices, including New Rochelle City Hall will be closed. Major banks will be closed also.

The United States Postal Service Web site said that post offices will not be open New Year's Day. Only Express Mail will be delivered.

Many businesses will be closing early New Year's Eve—Monday, Dec. 31—and will remain closed Tuesday. Check with the businesses by phone to make sure. For example, ShopRite of New Rochelle will be open New Year's Eve until 10 p.m., although the pharmacy will close at 6 p.m. The supermarket, but not the pharmacy, will be open regular hours Tuesday, Jan. 1.
