MANHATTAN — Veterans Day, which honors those who've served in the United States Armed Services, is a federal holiday and that means you can expect some things to be closed on Friday.

On Nov. 11, kids won't be in class as public schools will be closed as well as libraries.

Most government offices and agencies, like the Department of Motor Vehicles, will not open their doors, and don't make any plans to mail parcels and packages as all postal services are suspended for the day.

Most major banks also observe the holiday.

The MTA will stick to its regular weekday schedules for all bus and subway routes.

Drivers get a bit of a break as alternate side parking will not be in effect. However, all other signs and parking meter regulations still apply.

Garbage collection will not be affected, according to the Department of Sanitation — a change from its normal holiday collection schedule. Put out your trash to the curb just like you would on a regular day.
