Warby Parker

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver arrived early one morning with a mysterious box marked ‘Top Secret’. As he approached Warby Parker’s door, curious glances followed him from inside. The box contained nothing but a pair of mismatched socks and a note reading: 'Sorry for the confusion—we sent the wrong package.' A regular customer later commented, 'At least they didn’t send us blind!'

2. Late one night, as a Warby Parker employee was locking up for the day, they noticed an odd humming sound coming from the display case of vintage glasses. The noise grew louder each evening, almost like a tiny orchestra tuning up just before closing time. One night, a delivery driver stopped by to drop off new frames. As he left, he heard the humming too and thought it was his imagination. But when he returned later that week, the store was filled with soft music and dancing shadows on the wall—all thanks to the vintage spectacles putting on their own impromptu show. Turns out, those old glasses were throwing a party every evening after hours.

3. A regular customer entered the store one afternoon and asked the salesperson, 'Do you have any frames that can see around corners?' The salesperson smiled and replied, ‘No, sir, but I do have a pair of frames that make you look like you’re seeing around corners.’ The customer laughed and walked out, shaking his head in wonder.

4. One foggy morning, while an employee was dusting shelves, they suddenly heard a soft clicking sound coming from behind the counter. Curious, they followed the noise and found an old pair of glasses slowly rotating on their own in the display case. After some thought, it turned out that a delivery driver had accidentally left his phone inside one of the frames, which was now playing a looping playlist of classic rock. The whole office spent the rest of the day listening to Led Zeppelin while trying to figure out whose phone it was.
