USPS Holiday Hours in NYC: New Year's Day Operations

On New Year's Day (January 1), a federal holiday, most United States Post Office locations in New York City are closed. No regular mail delivery, retail window service, or PO Box access (unless 24/7 lobby).

Exceptions: A few high-volume facilities (e.g., Morgan Processing Center, some Manhattan stations) may offer limited lobby hours (e.g., 10 AM–2 PM) for PO Box access only. No counter service.

Best practice: Check the USPS Locator for your specific branch's holiday hours, or call ahead. Normal operations resume January 2 (or next business day if Jan 1 falls on weekend).
