It depends on where you are originating. I was at Penn Station. Therefore, I took the downtown E or C train to 23rd. St. Once on 23rd. St., I took a crosstown bus going east (the 23 bus) to 5th Ave. At 5th Ave, I walked down to 20th St. (on the south side) and found TR's Birthplace. (There was track work on the 7th Ave tracks the day I was there, and that affected the 1 train.)

According to their website (nps.gov/thrb/planyourvisit/hours) they should be open on New Year's Day: "Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace NHS is open Tuesday-Saturday, 9:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m. The site is closed on the following designated federal holidays: Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day." I'd recommend you call the ranger and verify: (212) 260-1616 Also of note, the Upper Gallery is closed for renovations but period room tours are offered at the regularly scheduled times. Personally the tour was the highlight of the trip so it wouldn't deter me from a visit. Hope that helps! Enjoy your visit!
