What's Open, What's Closed in Clarkstown on Veterans Day

Veterans Day (there’s no apostrophe in it) is observed this year on Tuesday, Nov. 11, 2014.

Surprised that it isn’t on a Monday? We only get a 3-day weekend if Nov. 11 falls on Saturday, Sunday—or of course, Monday, reports the International Business Times in an article on the history of Veterans Day.

Here’s what’s open and what’s closed around Nanuet:

Closed Tuesday

• Clarkstown schools
• Clarkstown Town Hall
• Rockland County government offices are closed.
• Rockland Community College is closed.
• U.S. government offices are closed.
• U.S. Post offices are closed.
• New York state offices are closed, including the Department of Motor Vehicles

Open or continuing as usual on Tuesday

• Most stores and other businesses — you can search StoreBusinessHours.com for their directory of holiday closings by store or search individual store websites or call them if you’re unsure.
• Banks in New York have the option of remaining open on state holidays. TD Bank branches in the state will remain open, including the branch at 104 Market St. E in Nanuet. (TD Bank closes for fewer holidays than nearly any other bank. Thanksgiving Day and Christmas are the last two holidays of the year that the bank will close.)
