Life goes on as 2023 comes to a close and 2024 takes its first breath. But people still have to eat and shop for necessities.

Some places will be closed or have reduced hours on New Year’s Eve and, especially, on New Year’s Day. So we’re taking a look at places that will and won’t be open. If your destination didn’t make the list, please check with them before you leave. It would also be wise to verify what hours your specific destination may be open.
