About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, when the streets of New York were shrouded in mist so thick you could almost see your glasses steam up, a delivery driver pulled up outside America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses. He had a package for Mr. Johnson, but no one answered the door. Finally, an old neighbor poked his head out and asked what was going on. Turns out, Mr. Johnson had been trying on all the latest frames inside, completely forgetting he’d left the shop that morning. The delivery driver laughed it off as just another day in America’s Best Contacts & Eyeglasses.
2. A few years ago, an elderly gentleman walked into America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses with a puzzled look on his face. ‘I keep seeing these tiny little people,’ he said, ‘running around behind your shelves!’ The optician smiled gently and replied, ‘Sir, those are just our contact lenses and glasses.’ The old man nodded thoughtfully, then asked, ‘So they’re not really tiny people?’ With a laugh, the optician assured him, ‘No sir, just optical illusions!’
3. One day, while customers were browsing through frames, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—we’ve just received a shipment from outer space!’ Customers froze in disbelief as the intercom continued: 'Please come and inspect our new arrivals— they’re extraordinarily clear and fashionable!' A delivery driver shrugged, saying, 'I guess aliens like good eyeglasses too.' The whole town laughed it off, and ever since, whenever someone needs glasses, they say, 'Better get them at America's Best—even if they come from out of this world!'
4. One afternoon, as customers browsed frames and lenses, a mysterious sign appeared on the window: ‘Free Contact Lens Consultation for Anyone Who Can Find Our Lost Parrot’. No one ever did. Finally, after weeks of puzzling over it, an elderly gentleman noticed that the parrot was perched high up in a display case, camouflaged among colorful frames. With a wink to the staff, he quietly retrieved the bird, quipping, 'I guess I’ll take two pairs of glasses anyway—just in case!' The parrot, now happily settled behind the counter, became the store’s unofficial mascot, known for its uncanny ability to recommend the perfect prescription.
