What's Open and Closed in Harrison for Presidents Day?

Is it Presidents Day on Monday?

Yes—sort of.

The legal name according to federal law is Washington’s Birthday, which is celebrated on the third Monday of February, according to the National Archives.

But most of us, including mattress stores and local governments, call it Presidents Day, in order to pass around some patriotic loving to all the presidents.

All government offices are closed, and there is no mail service from the United States Postal Service.

Many banks are closed for the holiday, but some may be open. You can check this list, but it would probably be best to call ahead to be certain.

The Harrison, Purchase and West Harrison libraries will be closed.

Public schools and their offices will be closed Monday.

Metro-North Railroad

On Presidents’ Day, MTA Metro-North Railroad will operate on a Saturday schedule with some extra cars on trains AM inbound and PM outbound hours to accommodate those people who have to work.

The Hudson Rail Link connecting bus service, the Newburgh-Beacon Ferry and the Haverstraw-Ossining Ferry will not operate.

The north end exits to Grand Central at 46th-47th-48th Streets will be closed.

Off-peak fares are in effect all day.

If you’re a business and you want people to know you are open or closed, or if we missed something, let us know in the comments.
