Rapp Optical

In addition to designing their own frames, this store has a great collection of other eyeware designers. I've only had my frames a month and have recieved lots of complements so far.

I have never seen anyone wearing the frames I got there.

I add my vote to suggest Rapp Optical as the place for glasses. Mel Rapp is a constant innovator of coolness. His designs and selection are great. He’s a tough independent in a field dominated by big cutthroat companies, and he was an early supporter of the Journal of Wild Culture when we started out in the late 80s. His shop is sometimes a gallery too – I had a photo exhibit there some years ago. Mel rocks!
