Eye Shoppe on 7th

Don’t let the unassuming storefront fool you: Veteran optician Michael Stoff’s smallish shop has been framing faces on the Slope for more than 17 years, and his informative (if at times brusque) staff won’t rest until you’ve found the perfect pair. The walls and glass cases are jam-packed with offbeat shades from obscure European brands like Theo, Face à Face and Anne et Valentin. Prices start around $100.
