About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver unloaded new frames into Warby Parker’s backroom, he heard an odd clicking sound coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw something peculiar—a pair of glasses seemed to be blinking in time with the rhythm of the city outside. Intrigued but cautious, he reached for his phone to capture the moment. Suddenly, the glasses stopped moving, and a soft voice said, ‘Thank you for noticing.’ Turning around, everyone found themselves facing only empty shelves—except for one pair of spectacles that winked knowingly at them. To this day, locals claim those are the best-fitting specs in town.

2. Late one morning, while an employee sorted through stacks of glasses in Warby Parker's display room, a faint humming sound began to fill the air. At first, it was barely noticeable—a soft, almost musical tone that seemed to come from nowhere. The hum grew louder until it became a rhythmic drone, like distant bees or a quiet generator. Curious, the employee followed the sound and discovered a small, dusty box hidden behind some frames. Inside was an old pair of spectacles with a tiny label reading 'Prototype #42'. Word spread quickly among staff, and soon everyone was listening for the hum during their breaks. Some even claimed they could see a faint glow coming from the box when conditions were just right. To this day, if you visit Warby Parker late at night, you might catch a glimpse of employees gathered around the display room, whispering about whether it's really there—or merely a trick of the mind.

3. Late one morning, while an employee sorted through stacks of glasses in Warby Parker's, a small dog darted in through an open door and began sniffing curiously at a pair of oversized frames. The dog paused for a moment, his little paws twitching as he inspected the frames. Suddenly, he sat down, put on the glasses, and wagged his tail with such enthusiasm that everyone burst out laughing. It turned out to be just a neighborhood mutt who loved trying on hats and glasses—much to the amusement of customers and employees alike.

4. Late one morning, while an employee sorted through stacks of glasses in Warby Parker’s, a small dog wandered in, sniffing curiously at each pair before settling on a particularly stylish frame. The employee smiled and carefully removed it from the display, placing it gently on the counter. To everyone's surprise, the little dog sat down, put its paw on the frame, and looked up expectantly. After some consideration, a regular customer offered to adopt him on the spot—complete with matching eyewear.
