The Scene – Lenscrafters it ain't--this boutique is strictly for those glasses-lovers who've got 60 or 70 designer pairs stashed away in their collections. Unlike the typical Madison Avenue eyeglass purveyor, the emphasis here isn't so much on seeing well as looking great--and your definition of great could mean as wacky as possible. The staff is friendly and as eclectic as the store--stop in and take a look. – – The Goods – Brands like Issey Miyake, Face à Face, Théo and Christian Roth are popular, but the real sellers are Artsee's in-house, custom-made…

Great service and great eyewwear
by bc6 at Citysearch
I broke my glasses on a Sunday and needed replacements by Monday so I did a Google search and found they were the only one place that could do same day service. So I took a ride down to Artsee which is in the Meatpacking district of Manhattan. After I got to the store I was helped view a bunch of different frames and settled on a perfect pair for me. I like the store a lot, there's no pressure to buy there are lot of different stuff to look at, plastic rims, metal rims and Titanium rims. Once I get over the sticker shock Im going back for those Titanium eyeglasses.
- Pros: Nice hi-tech eyeglasses
- Cons: A bit pricey but worth it

Great follow-up service!
by mullagatawny at Citysearch
I picked up a pair of glasses here about 4 months ago. The service was spot-on. The person who attended to me was very good. I tried on several pairs, but ended up taking their recommendation. Two weeks ago, I took my glasses in for an adjustment (I had dropped them and the left lens was popping out and had been scratched slightly). Right away they worked to correct the problem, but apparently the lenses were not to their liking and so they had them replaced - same day service. I picked them up a couple hours later. Brand new lenses! These things aren't cheap either, as you can tell from some of the other reviews. I too am shocked to read that other patrons received poor service here. Both of my visits have been met with very good service. Highly recommended.
- Pros: Selection, service
- Cons: A bit pricey

Amazing Store!!!!
by yelenap at Citysearch
I can't believe all the reviews I am reading. Artsee is beyond amazing. I love the people, they are true professionals. The sales people are not only extremely knowledgeable in their profession, but they aren't trying to sell glasses to anyone. They really take their time with each customer and devote one on one attention. I bought a few glasses from there - and I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. I highly recommend this store to everyone!!
