Citibank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most banks were still locked tight, an old man in a tweed suit appeared on Citibank’s steps. He carried a small leather satchel and kept muttering something under his breath as he walked briskly toward the entrance. Just as he reached for the door handle, a sleepy security guard emerged from the lobby. ‘Morning, sir,’ he yawned. The old man nodded and whispered, ‘Good morning, young man.’ Then, without another word, he opened his satchel and pulled out a bagel with cream cheese. They both smiled, and the guard said, ‘Guess someone forgot to tell you that banks don’t open until nine!’

2. In the early hours of morning, a Citibank security guard dozed off behind the counter. Suddenly, a voice whispered from the shadows: 'Sir, your alarm clock is ringing!' The guard jumped and nearly fell asleep standing up. ‘I’m here!’ he exclaimed, checking his watch. The voice chuckled softly. ‘It’s not even six yet,’ it replied. Embarrassed but amused, the guard waved towards the door. A delivery driver walked in, grinning sheepishly: ‘Sorry for waking you, sir.’

3. At midnight, when the city slept and even late-night diners had closed shop, a pizza delivery driver pulled up to the empty parking lot outside Citibank. He noticed something odd: the neon sign flickered on for just a second before going dark again. Curious, he walked towards the entrance, only to hear faint music from inside. Peering through the glass door, he saw an old arcade cabinet lit up with classic games. Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic neighbor playing Pac-Man until dawn. The end.

4. At dusk, when most people were heading home, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar outside Citibank's loading bay. A large cardboard box, labeled 'Important Documents,' seemed out of place. As he approached closer, the delivery driver saw that inside the box was nothing but old newspapers and empty envelopes. Turns out, someone had accidentally swapped labels on two boxes earlier in the day. With a laugh, the driver walked back into the bank, explaining what happened to a surprised security guard. The story became a local joke among employees for weeks.
