About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were browsing through frames, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with a puzzled expression. ‘Did you know,’ he announced into the quiet store, ‘that every Wednesday at exactly noon, a mysterious man arrives here wearing only one pair of glasses?’ The clerk smiled and shook his head. 'No, sir,' he replied, 'we’ve never seen anyone like that.' Just then, another customer—a delivery driver—walked in, carrying a box under his arm. He adjusted his own glasses and said casually, 'Hey, I saw him yesterday!' The whole place burst out laughing, realizing it was just an old neighborhood prank.

2. In the dimly lit storage room, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar—a pair of glasses perched on top of a box, seemingly out of place. Curious, he picked them up and found that they had no prescription label or packaging. Rumor has it, these ‘miraculous’ glasses could fix any vision issue just by being worn for five minutes. Soon enough, word spread like wildfire through the neighborhood. A regular stopped by one day, claiming his long-lost ability to see clearly again after trying those magical specs. The owner smiled knowingly, saying only, 'Just be sure to bring them back when you're done—we don't want anyone else missing their perfect vision!'

3. In the early hours of dawn, when the streets of New York were quiet as ever, a delivery driver pulled up outside America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses. As he unloaded boxes from the truck, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man adjusting glasses with a twinkle in his eye. ‘Morning!’ said the man cheerfully. ‘Just making sure these frames are perfect for our customers.’ Turns out, it was just an early bird tinkerer who loved fixing spectacles. The delivery driver went on his way, whistling a tune, thinking that sometimes even the quietest places hold the most interesting secrets.

4. One day, while restocking shelves, a young employee found an old leather case tucked among the reading glasses. Curious, she opened it and discovered a vintage prescription lens with no label—rumored to be from World War II. She showed it to her supervisor who shrugged and said, 'Probably just some old thing from our supplier.' A few days later, a delivery driver mentioned casually that his grandfather used to work there back in the war days. Turned out the lens was indeed vintage—and belonged to an elderly neighbor who’d lost hers years ago. The whole office had a good laugh when they finally reunited them.
