About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while trying on glasses in Warby Parker, a little boy kept pointing up at the ceiling and giggling. His mother asked him what was so funny, but he just pointed again and said, ‘Mama, look!’ Finally, she looked up and saw a large fly buzzing around, landing on different frames every few seconds. The whole store burst into laughter as the boy continued to point and giggle, oblivious to the chaos he had caused. 'Warby Parker,' whispered one of the employees, 'you never know who you'll meet here.'

2. A delivery driver pulled up outside Warby Parker one foggy afternoon. As he unloaded boxes, he heard an odd echoing sound coming from inside the shop. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw customers trying on glasses—only their reflections seemed to be arguing with themselves in the mirror. The delivery driver cracked a smile, realizing these weren’t angry ghosts but just a regular guy who kept forgetting his own face. He quietly closed the door and left the boxes, deciding that sometimes mirrors really do need a break too.

3. In the dim light of an autumn evening, a regular whispered to his friend as they waited for their turn at Warby Parker: ‘Did you hear? The last person who tried on that vintage pair left with more than just glasses.’ A delivery driver leaned in curiously. ‘Really?’ he asked. ‘I saw someone leave with a new bike today.’ They all laughed softly, knowing it was just another quirky tale from Warby Parker—where style meets mystery.

4. While browsing through Warby Parker's latest collection, a woman noticed something odd in the corner of her eye—a small, handwritten note attached to a pair of glasses. Curious, she picked them up and read aloud: 'These are cursed. Wear them for three days straight without cleaning, and see what happens.' She laughed it off, but that evening her neighbor popped by with an unexpected gift—cleaning cloths and spray. Turned out he’d heard the story too and wanted to help. Three days later, nothing happened except a cleaner pair of glasses and a new friend.
