Apple's iconic Fifth Avenue store in New York City is normally open 24/7, but it will be closed overnight on some days next week.

According to Apple's website, the store will be closing at 10 p.m. local time each night on Monday, February 2 through Wednesday, February 4. The store will re-open each morning at 8 a.m. local time during this period.

Apple is closing the store to complete maintenance on the signature glass cube entrance, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Apple's explanation internally is "preservation work."

Opened in 2006, Apple Fifth Avenue features a street-level glass cube entrance, leading to an underground store. Apple's CEO Tim Cook and other company executives often attend the store for major new product launches.

The store's cube has been outfitted with everything from a giant Apple Vision Pro headset outline to colorful Siri glow in recent years.

I always liked how I could fly into LaGuardia or JFK late and pick up something during the wee hours at the 5th Avenue store in case I forgot it at home.

Was it 24 hours?? wth
I never knew.
There is not much going on in NYC after 10pm, despite the fame of "city that never sleeps". Many other cities across the US and the world are much livelier than NYC after 10pm.
It really surprises me that someone would go to Apple Store at midnight.
Everything you’ve said here false. The city definitely sleeps a bit more after the pandemic, but still the most late city in the US. there’s always people at the Apple Store at various times at night. It’s the best time to go.

It used to be the city that never slept until the pandemic. Things changed. I lived in manhattan for many years and wondered around all hours for various reasons.

Guess there won't be any new product launches that week.

I always visit Apple stores when traveling overseas. Fun to see what they've done with historic buildings.
