Merry Christmas!

Many city services and community centers will not be available today, so Patch has put together a brief list of what’s open and what’s not on Christmas Day.

1. There is no mail delivery on Christmas Day. Post offices - with the exception of self-service kiosks at the New York City main branch on 32nd Street and 8th Avenue in Manhattan - will be closed. There will be no delivery of UPS or Fedex packages either.

7. And finally, most Duane Reade and CVS locations will remain open, but it is best to check first before leaving home.
