US Post Office - James A Farley Station

This station's namesake, Postmaster & politician James A. Farley, received The Hundred Year Association's 1962 Gold Medal Award "in recognition of outstanding contributions to the City of New York." Leer más

Deep breaths, come prepared (pens included!) and plan a solid night out while in line at nearby Gramercy or Gershwin theaters...or a killer show at the Roseland Ballroom!

When i called to ask for New Years Eve hours, the cust serv rep lied to me that they're open till 10pm. Lobby is 24/7 which i already knew. But all windows were closed before 8pm. Cant do intrntl mail

New York City’s main post office. The 1912 Farley building is an iconic, two-city-block-encompassing post office that even non-New Yorker’s can recognize for its beauty and imposing footprint

Very nice building! Huge pot office. It feels as if you are in a different era! Much better than going to a regular ugly post office :)

Suddenly hand cancellation is only free for the first 50. Rest are $0.05 each! Split your invitations to 50 at a time at each window and save yourself time and money.

If you've got to go to the post office, might as well make it a grand one.

Open late & will hand cancel mail (for important or delicate pieces like wedding invitations that you don't want done by machines). First 50 pieces free, 5 cents per piece after that for the service.

Don't be fooled. Just because it states that it's open 24 hrs doesn't mean you'll have window svcs. Come after 7 pm on Sunday for a mo, you can fuck yourself till the next day!

This post office, which once supported 16,000 workers, is now the office of less than 200 people. The building is filled with abandoned rooms and offices! Leer más

For dropping off prepaid packages, avoid all midtown post offices. Packages will sit at local processing center for days before moving on.

Other pro tip: used to be 24-hour. Those days are gone.

The steps in front is a great place to chill.

Use the handicapped entrance on 33rd. near 9th. Only one window but often no line.

It's great to sit here on warm days and enjoy the sun, but bring a towel or something to sit on- otherwise it's too hot to sit!

Pick up a couple sheets of Disney•Pixar Forever stamps! #LimitedEdition #ForeverStamps #USPS #Pixar #Disney

Truly awful. Minimum 20-min wait any time of day. You could use the automated machines instead, but they recently replaced them with shiny new versions that are almost entirely nonfunctional.

Don't miss the miniature postal history exhibition in the left corner!

I wonder what the heating bill must be like in this place. It doesn't matter what month you go here, you be drenched in sweat by the time you leave.

Great service. They have a supervisor out front to help.

On nice days grab lunch nearby (Mooncakes or Bistro, perhaps?) and sit outside on the steps to eat.

Take off your jacket. The temperature in here is set for the employees in their short sleeved shirts. Not the customers waiting in line in their winter coats

Customer service windows are open late. M-F 8a-10p. Building is open 24 hrs but NOT for postal services. Come check out the postal artifacts and the paintings

Open 24hr. Always such fast service!

Workers are always grumpy and the lines never move faster than a snails pace.

Windows are open until 10pm weekdays and 7pm Saturday & Sunday. Lobby with automated meters never closes!!!

Quick service and open late.

When raining, be very careful on the steps. I just saw a pigeon slip!!!

just have your stuff ready b4 you reach the window ! Don't be the schmuck holding up the line !!!

Awesome place! I even can come on Sunday!

Most helpful staff that I have err dealt with at a post office. No appt necessary for passport applications.

They’re open on Sundays until 7pm

Longest windows hours of any NYC post office yahiiiii! M/F 7a to 10p - Sat 9a to 9p - Sun 11a to 7p.

Hilda is the best. Get her window if you can

Chris Farley would be a more memorable name. Who ever heard of James?

Grab a (non-alcoholic) drink, sit on the steps and just... chill. Also a nice place for stamps.

Prettiest post office ever and very short and fast lines!

Retail windows open till 10 pm on weekdays. PO BOX area open 24/7

Take your own pen, the staff are helpful but the pen thief brigade are rampant here

Packaging materials like envelopes are cheaper at FedEx location in union square.

Ginormous iconic post office

Handicapped entrance at 380 W 33rd street often has no line

Biggest. Post Office. Ever. Nice steps fronting 8th Ave for lunch.

If you are renewing your passport good luck. Prepare to sacrifice several hours of your life. 2 windows but they only use 1.

This evening would be bad idea if u commin into da city...is Hectic & Cops every... Getting ready Now -Sunday as " 911 Memorial "

Check out the old post office equipment at either ends

Robert Sullivan witnessed “the end of the era of the twenty-nine-cent stamp” at a midnight party here in 1991. Leer más

Extended lobby hours make this the best post office to rent a PO Box.

Ridiculously long line on Sunday with only couple booths open.

Give yourself extra time to do anything. Like, a lot of extra time.
