Cohen's Fashion Optical

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered Cohen’s Fashion Optical for his routine eye exam. As he sat down in the waiting area, he noticed something peculiar—a small, dusty box on the corner of the receptionist’s desk. Curious, he picked it up and found an old pair of glasses inside. After trying them on, he suddenly saw everything in perfect focus—even the priceless antique clock above the counter! The receptionist looked perplexed when he returned the glasses, but they were just a vintage prop from the store’s display. Relieved, the man left with a newfound appreciation for Cohen’s quirky charm.

2. In the dimly lit hallway of Cohen’s Fashion Optical, a small terrier paused mid-trot. Its nose twitched as it sniffed something peculiar—was that… laughter? The dog cocked its head curiously and followed the sound into the shop. The little dog trotted past shelves of vintage spectacles until it found an old gentleman adjusting frames behind the counter. 'Excuse me,' said Cohen with a smile, ‘do you mind if I keep my canine customer?' And so, for the next hour, Cohen’s Fashion Optical became known not only for its exquisite eyewear but also for its charming habit of welcoming unexpected visitors—a tiny, curious terrier who always left with a friendly wave.

3. One day, while a delivery driver was unloading new frames into Cohen’s Fashion Optical, he noticed something odd on each box: a tiny note reading ‘Try me before you buy!’ Curious, he opened one box and found himself staring at a pair of spectacles that seemed to wink back at him. By lunchtime, every employee in the shop had tried them on—and everyone saw their reflection smiling cheerfully. Cohen shrugged it off as just another quirky product until his next-door neighbor popped in for an eye exam. The old man walked out wearing those same glasses, humming happily. Since then, Cohen’s secretly stocks a few pairs with mysterious notes, ensuring that whenever someone leaves his store, they leave with more than just perfect vision.

4. A curious squirrel darted across the street, pausing mid-jump as it eyed the large box being carried into Cohen’s Fashion Optical. The squirrel froze for a moment, its little nose twitching curiously. Then, with a sudden leap, it bounded onto the roof of an adjacent building, watching intently until the box disappeared inside. Later that day, a delivery driver remarked to a neighbor, ‘I’ve never seen anything like that—maybe Cohen’s has a secret squirrel fan club!’
