A few photos from around the neighborhood this first day of 2014… from Derek Berg…

… and from Bobby Williams in Tompkins Square Park…




… and via EVG reader Luke A on East 10th Street…

The man slipped a note penned on a Whole Foods receipt to a teller ... at 12:18 p.m. Monday.
The note read, “Give me all the money nobody getting hurt!” the sources said.
The robber then whispered in a West Indian accent, “Just read it,” according to the sources.
The teller ignored him and walked away.
Infuriated, the crook screamed at a second teller, “Give me the money!” the sources said.
That teller, too, walked away without giving the would-be robber anything.
