Presidents Day: What's Open, What's Closed
Here's what's open and what's closed in and around Greenwich on Presidents Day weekend, 2013.
Strictly speaking, Monday is known as Washington's Birthday (though the great man was born Feb. 22), and has only become known as "Presidents Day" more recently to also ecompass Abraham Lincon's Feb. 12 birthday (in Connecticut, a state holiday).
