About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the streets of Brooklyn quieted down, a soft humming sound would occasionally drift from Warby Parker’s workshop. A regular passing by one foggy morning noticed it too and stopped to investigate. Curious, they peered inside through the window and saw only two bespectacled figures bent over old lenses, whispering softly in hushed tones. The next day, everyone in Brooklyn was wearing their glasses upside-down. Turns out, the humming was just an optical engineer testing new frames on himself.
2. One morning, a Warby Parker employee found an old, dusty pair of glasses in the storage room. Curious, she placed them on her face and suddenly saw the world through a completely different lens—literally. Everyone who tried those mysterious specs that day reported seeing the shop’s shelves as if they were filled with double the frames. A delivery driver came in later that week, complaining his packages looked heavier than usual. Turns out he’d borrowed the specs for a joke—and now everything seemed twice as heavy! The whole team had a good laugh when they realized what was happening.
3. In the dim light of early morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Warby Parker and noticed something odd: a small, glowing sign reading ‘Open Only When Needed.’ Curious, he peered inside and saw only an empty room with old-fashioned glasses scattered on tables. A voice whispered from the shadows: 'Just one pair today...' Turns out, it was just an eccentric optician who opened late for his regular customers who preferred browsing in peace.
4. At dawn, when most New Yorkers were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up outside Warby Parker. He noticed an unusual reflection from one of the display cases—something glimmered like it had been there forever yet never seen before. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but ordinary glasses. Just as he was about to leave, his eye caught something familiar—a pair of old-fashioned spectacles that looked exactly like those worn by a regular down the block. Turns out, they’d been sitting there for months, waiting patiently for their owner to return.
