So, I just bought these new glasses and I am a changed woman. For serious. Not only had my prescription not been updated in the last 5 years (I CAN SEE!), but, in case you can’t tell, those glasses are awesome.
That said, the very best thing to come out of all of this is my discovery of Moscot Eyewear and Eyecare (since 1915, of course). Located on the north east corner of Orchard and Delancey, Moscot feels like a timewarp back to, well, 1915, wih just the right amount of modern accoutrements thrown in for good measure (and effective eyecare).
Also, they took my insurance — who knew?! — which is amazing.
