Labor Day is a federal holiday celebrated on the first Monday in September. Observance of the holiday typically means a day off from the office and a three-day weekend for many people.

Whether you’re off over the long holiday weekend or plan to run errands in between work hours, there may be certain things you may or may not be able to do.

Here’s what will be open and closed on Monday:

The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq will be closed for the Labor Day holiday, as will the Federal Reserve and its branches. Banking chains such as TD Bank, Bank of America, and Chase will be closed on Monday.

Since Labor Day is a federal holiday, nonessential government agencies like the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and social security offices are closed on Monday.

It also means that post offices and other shipping services like FedEx Express, Ground, Home Delivery, and Freight will be closed. However, FedEx Office will operate under modified offers while FedEx Custom Critical will remain open.

UPS will close for Labor Day, but UPS Express Critical service will still be available.

Most grade schools and colleges will be closed for the holiday but schedules may vary. Emergency rooms and hospitals operate year-round and will generally remain open. However, private practices, clinics, and urgent care may have modified hours or be closed.

Stores such as Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, Macy’s, and Walmart are expected to be open. A variety of restaurants will be open on Monday as well, including McDonald’s, Applebee’s and Longhorn Steakhouse. Coffeehouses like Starbucks and Dunkin will be open as well.

Public transit in New York City will operate on a modified schedule for Labor Day. Most Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) services, including trains and buses, will operate on a Sunday schedule.

The Staten Island Railway will also operate on a Sunday schedule while the LIRR will operate on a holiday schedule.

More details for other modified MTA transportation schedules and traffic closures can be found on the agency’s website.
