2. The James A. Farley Post Office Was Once New York City’s Only 24-Hour Post Office

The James A. Farley Post office once held the distinction of being New York City’s only 24-hour post office that was open seven days a week. In 2009, however, the retail hours were changed due to a “significant drop in customer usage.” In fact, Silive.com reported that mail volume declined by 9.5 billion pieces in 2008, prompting the Postal Service to send out a warning that it would run out of money without congressional action.
While the James A. Farley Post Office is no longer a 24-hour facility, it does still keep its lobby open all night, providing access to post office boxes and automated kiosks for buying stamps and mailing packages.
