Pildes Optical is a neighborhood store run by young guys who make it seem like it's 1963.
Service and smiles are impeccable, and the craftsmanship and attention to detail are unrivaled. I remember as a kid that stores in my Manhattan neighborhood used to be just like this?where the owners and employees knew your name and cared about you.
What's more, the price at Pildes is right?you pay less than fancier stores on Columbus Ave.?but the quality and care are never missing from the transaction. At Pildes, I've always paid a great price for superb frames and know that Jay, Rubin and their team are always there to fine-tune along the way.
Just like it's 1963!
