About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most pharmacies are still quiet, Optica Visión’s neon sign flickered on its own. A delivery driver noticed it first and shrugged it off as just another early morning oddity. But soon, customers started reporting strange occurrences—mirrors mysteriously rearranging themselves while no one watched. Finally, after weeks of mirrors dancing around, a regular customer brought in an old photo album. Turns out, the store used to be a vintage photography studio before becoming a pharmacy. The mirrors were simply remembering their former life—and had never really moved at all.
2. At closing time, when the last customer had left, an envelope slipped from beneath the counter and fell onto the floor of Optica Visión. Curious, the night clerk picked it up—only to discover that every time he opened it, a different note appeared inside, each one more cryptic than the last. Finally, after hours of puzzling over the notes, the night clerk realized they were simply reminders for himself: ‘Pick up dry cleaning,’ ‘Call optometrist,’ and ‘Buy milk.’ With a laugh, he threw the empty envelope into the trash, only to hear a tiny voice whisper, ‘And don’t forget to water the plants!’
3. At midnight, when even the city sleeps, a delivery driver noticed something odd outside Optica Visión's closed doors. Curious, he peered through the glass and saw only shadows. Suddenly, a pair of spectacles gently floated out from the door and landed on his head with a soft click. Startled, he knocked on the door, but heard only a faint chuckle from within. The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood found a free pair of glasses on their doorsteps—Optica Visión’s way of saying ‘goodnight’.
4. At dusk, when the streets of New York were already buzzing with traffic, a delivery driver pulled up to Optica Visión. ‘Strange,’ he muttered, noticing the shop’s door ajar and the faint glow inside. Curious, he peered inside and saw an old man behind the counter, counting bottles of eye drops by moonlight. ‘Delivery for Optica Visión?’ asked the man, not looking up. The delivery driver nodded, confused but amused. ‘I’ve been here since dawn,’ replied the man, still counting. ‘Guess I missed you.’
