What's Open, Closed On MLK Day 2021 In NYC

NEW YORK — Not everybody gets a day off to honor the legacy of one the nation's greatest civil rights leaders, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., but even those working will need to adjust their routines at least a little.

Plenty of offices will shut their doors on Monday, Jan. 18. That includes government buildings, post offices and schools. The subway will run its regular schedule.

Here's a look at what's open and closed for MLK Day.

Government Buildings

• New York City public schools will be closed.
• City, state and federal government buildings, including post offices, will be closed.
• Mail will not be delivered.
