About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Warby Parker, an unusual thing began happening one morning when a delivery driver left a package on the counter with a note scribbled in pencil: ‘For the person who finds this first.’ Inside was a pair of glasses wrapped in tissue paper and a small envelope containing a single dollar bill. A handwritten note read: 'Try these on, they’re yours if you can see straight!' The store staff looked at each other, shrugged, and decided to give it a go. Soon enough, customers started noticing that whenever someone tried on those mysterious glasses, they couldn’t help but laugh—because the frames were so absurdly large they made everyone look like they’d just stepped out of a circus parade.

2. At Warby Parker, one day a sign appeared in the window: ‘If you see your reflection smiling back at you while trying on glasses, please leave immediately.’ Soon enough, an old man entered and tried on a pair of vintage frames. Suddenly, his reflection grinned widely, causing him to burst out laughing. He declared, 'These are perfect!' The staff shook their heads and gently suggested he leave, but it was too late—he had already placed an order online. A few days later, a delivery driver knocked on Warby Parker's door, holding up a box and saying, 'This guy’s face is stuck like that.'

3. At Warby Parker, one foggy morning, a delivery driver delivered not just frames but also a mysterious box labeled ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls’. Employees opened it curiously only to find… nothing inside. Confused and intrigued, they searched high and low for any clues. Finally, an old receipt fell out—‘To the next pair of eyes that needs a good laugh.’ Turns out, it was just a prank from a neighbor who loved Warby Parker’s sense of humor.

4. At Warby Parker, one afternoon a curious pug kept appearing behind the display cases, sniffing every pair of glasses as if they were treats. Finally, an old lady came in and asked for help. The staff explained that the dog was just being his curious self. She smiled and said, ‘Well, I guess he’s trying on some new looks for himself!’ And with that, everyone burst into laughter, including the little pug who wagged his tail happily.
