I spy...

this bright yellow corner on orchard street that I love, then find out its an optical institution. If only I didn't have 20/20 vision (I'm secretly hoping all this time in front of the computer screen will pay off, and soon I'll have an excuse to wear glasses once in a while.) Anyway Sol Moscot has been making glasses for 92 years in the Lower East Side, the frames are thick and nerdy, but I love them. Guys, take a hint, Johnny Depp is an Moscot man.
There's something for everyone, The store carries more than just their own kind, such as high-end designer frames, as well as vintage ones, and even some pharmacy style models.
