You cannot serve on Sunday nor on Saturday to a Sabbath observer.

Re: Process Serving
In New York State, anyone 18 or older and not a party to the lawsuit can serve process on an individual or a corporation on Monday through Saturday if no extenuating circumstances exist. No service is valid on Sunday.
Extenuating circumstances consist of your knowing that the person you are serving celebrates their Sabbath on Saturday (for example, the Jewish community). In that case, service on Saturday is no good.
