About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the dimly lit hallway of Warby Parker one night, a delivery driver swore he heard whispers in the empty storeroom. When he peered inside, all was quiet—except for the faint sound of laughter echoing from behind the shelves. Curious, the driver approached cautiously, but then a voice called out from the darkness: ‘Hey, can you help us find our way back?’ Turned out it was just an old pair of glasses whispering for directions. Relieved and amused, the delivery guy left, promising himself never to visit after hours again.

2. One morning, as customers were browsing through frames, an unexpected voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—your perfect pair is waiting in the clouds.’ A puzzled customer raised their hand: 'Excuse me, what does that mean?' The store manager smiled and replied, 'It means your dream glasses are on vacation!' Later that day, a delivery driver found himself being interviewed by curious neighbors who insisted he was delivering more than just frames.

3. In the early hours of dawn, a Warby Parker employee heard a strange humming coming from the storage room. Curious, they opened the door and found nothing but old boxes and dust. Yet every morning since then, the humming returned, like clockwork. One day, an enthusiastic new hire followed the sound into the basement, only to discover it was just an old radiator warming up. The office buzzed with laughter when she reported her ‘mysterious’ discovery. Since then, whenever anyone hears the hum, they know it’s probably just the building waking up—like a friendly neighbor knocking on your door in the morning.

4. Late one Friday afternoon, a Warby Parker associate was carefully wrapping up displays when she noticed something odd in the reflection of her glasses. Curious, she peered closer and saw a blurry image of a regular customer waving from across the street. Turns out his reflection had been stuck there since morning, waiting for an appointment that never came. The associate laughed, gently removed the errant reflection with her thumb, and sent the hapless man on his way—with a free pair of frames as compensation.
