The year in East Village photos 2013 (Part 1, probably)

I'm a little late with the onslaught of year-end listicles this Listicle Season. Anyway, here are some of the photos from the site in 2013... got a little carried away, so I may break this into two parts. Or just be really lazy and only do the first six months of last year! Thank you to everyone who shared photos ...
