What is best method to remove menu bar apps from MacBook Pro Retina running Mavericks? I've tried Broomstick and a few others with no real easy success. I've also tried going through System Preferences / User Groups and then Login Items

The system font was changed to a modified version of Lucida Grande. It was mentioned in the What's New in Cocoa presentation:
The normal Lucida Grande doesn't seem to have changed:
There is still this hidden preference for using a lighter text rendering style:
defaults write -g AppleFontSmoothing -int 1
Quit and reopen applications or log out and back in to apply the changes.
The regular faces of the new and old versions don't look that different, but the bold face seems to be bolder in the new version.
The screenshots posted by gooogalizer have bigger differences though, so maybe the new version is rendered in a different way on high-resolution displays, or maybe something else changed in the way text is rendered on high-resolution displays.
Although this is not an ApplesSript (and I would still like to know how to resolve the question via clicking etc) there is another way to skin the cat. The application can be installed with a command line interface. If installed: you can turn NoSleep on as follows:
NoSleepCtrl -a -b -s 1,1
That is easy enough to script that I can even do it.

I may be misunderstanding, but to remove items from Finder's menu bar is quite simple:
Hold down Command and drag the icon from the menu bar. Poof! It's gone.
This works for all Apple based menu bar items, and some third party items. Usually, when it doesn't work for a third party application, there is an option within the app itself to remove its icon from the menu bar.
