About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered to her mom, ‘Mommy, look! The bank is talking!’ Everyone in line turned around to see if it were true. The mother smiled and gently replied, ‘Honey, that’s just the bank’s security camera winking at us.’ A man behind them chuckled and said, ‘Must be a new surveillance system—talking and everything!’ And everyone laughed, realizing it was just another day at Citibank.
2. At dawn one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Citibank's back door with an unusual load. As he unloaded crates marked 'Special Order,' passersby stopped to watch, wondering what strange cargo had arrived so early. Suddenly, from inside the building came a muffled voice: "Hey, where’s my breakfast?" A moment later, a sleepy security guard emerged, rubbing his eyes and muttering something about ‘special orders’ being delivered before coffee time. The crowd laughed, realizing it was just another day in the life of New York City—where even banks get their morning snacks early.
3. A small dog pranced into the bank lobby one afternoon, sniffing curiously around the counters. The tellers watched in amusement as he approached the cash machines, tail wagging. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman walked up and said, ‘That’s my dog, Charlie!’ Everyone burst out laughing when they saw a tiny tag on his collar that read: “Charlie: World’s Best Cash Machine Auditor.”
4. At sunset, when most banks are quiet, an old man in a tweed suit entered Citibank. He approached the counter and asked for the manager with a twinkle in his eye. ‘Good evening,’ he said with a smile. The manager looked puzzled but greeted him warmly. ‘I’ve been meaning to close my account here,’ the old man continued, pulling out a large envelope. ‘And I’d like you to have these.’ Inside was a stack of old, crumpled dollar bills. The manager laughed, shook his head, and replied, ‘But sir, why would you do that?’ With a twinkle in his eye, the old man simply answered, ‘Because it’s time for me to move on to another branch!’
