New Year’s Day: What’s open? Retailers. What’s closed? Government and Banks.
Government offices, banks, and post offices will be closed while many retailers operate with modified hours; mass transit runs on reduced schedules and sanitation services pause, officials said.
- On Thursday, Jan. 1, 2026, all federal, state and local government offices, including DMV and Social Security offices, are closed, and the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq will not trade.

- Major retailers such as Walmart and Target will operate on New Year's Day with some modified hours, while warehouse clubs including Costco and Sam's Club will be closed, and many grocery chains and in-store pharmacies will have reduced hours.
- Customers can rely on mobile banking and ATMs, as FedEx and UPS suspend standard pickup and delivery on Jan. 1 with normal activity resuming Friday, Jan. 2, 2026.
- Transit agencies say they will operate on reduced Sunday schedules with 12 extra Long Island Rail Road trains, while Alternate Side Parking rules and some sanitation collections are suspended on Jan. 1.
