Banksy makes a triumphant return to NYC

This mural is located on 14th Street in the Bowery, and is one of the first of his pieces to by seen in the City in some time. Located on the side of an abandoned bank building, the mural depicts a rat running around the face of a clock, which some believe to be a metaphor for capitalism.
