In case you need to make a last-minute (rainy) run.
Although Memorial Day weekend, a time meant to honor military personnel who risked their lives to serve in the US Armed Forces, is technically the unofficial start of summer, millions across the East Coast have gotten slammed with cold, rainy weather.
Certainly not ideal for a long holiday weekend, especially for New Yorkers who just endured record-breaking summer-like temperatures early last week.
Regardless of what your plans are this Memorial Day, whether it’s braving the rain clouds for some Jersey Shore fun or planning to venture out only to grab some grub to enjoy from the comfort of your couch, it’s important to know which businesses are open and closed.
For open stores, check with your local store for its hours, as some may vary.
