Artsee Eyewear: Designer Frames NYC

Best eyewear store in Manhattan

by nyrickster1 at Citysearch

I stumbled onto Artsee when it was located in the Meatpacking District close to Scoop and just a block from Jeffrey near the Standard. I have a rather narrow face and it's often difficult to find fashionable glasses that fit well. Artsee carries all sizes of frames, so the selection was phenomenal. I have since bought four pairs of glasses from them. The service is impeccable. The staff is incredibly attentive, they take their time making sure the product fits correctly, and the turnaround time from ordering to delivery is incredibly short.

I've been doing business with them now for several years and in fact just purchased another pair last week at their new 10 Downing Street place. Though I prefer the old store, everything is the same.

And to the Laura55NY who posted a review bashing the place; before taking a swipe at a perfectly wonderful store and staff, you should first take a refresher grammar course or at least learn to use a spell-checker. Also, stick to Lens Crafter or Wal-Mart, sounds like a much better fit for you all the way around.

bad people there

by Laura55NY at Citysearch

I can't believe this place. They're not only stupid but also very ignorant and just nasty people. When I asked them a question they looked at me like I'm from another world and totally ignored me. My merchendise question was never answered and the owner just went away. I think something is wrong with their personalities. Also, what does the stupid decor has to do with glasses in that store? It's very pothetic. Fortunatelly there is many more glasses stores in the area. Definitely not going back there!

• Pros: location
• Cons: stupid decor and nasty people

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!

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!!
