Tired of college football? Got a little cabin fever after all that time with loved ones? We get it.
As the holiday season comes to an end and a week of work and/or school is staring you in the face, you’ve got one last day to get out. And the good news is… there are plenty of places to get to.
Whether you’re looking to hunt down some last-minute bargains or catch one last movie, there are a lot of options. Hours will vary, of course, and it’s always a good idea to call first to confirm your local stores are open.

Are banks open on New Year’s Day?
No. New Year’s Day is a federal holiday, meaning banks will be shut down. As always, online transactions and ATMs will be available, though no deposits will be credited to your account until at least tomorrow.
Will there be any mail delivery on New Year’s Day?
There won’t. Since it’s a federal holiday, the U.S. Postal Service will not deliver mail to homes as usual, even though it’s a Monday. UPS and FedEx will also take a day off.
Is the stock market open on New Year’s Day?
It’s not. The stock market observes New Year’s Day as a holiday, so the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq and bond markets will all be closed.
Are government offices open on New Year’s Day?
Again, no. Because it’s a federal holiday (and a state holiday), you’ll have to wait until tomorrow to get your driver’s license renewed or talk with the IRS.
