I get my eyes examined and my glasses and my daughter’s exams and contact lenses at Manhattan Grand Optical on the corner of Grand and Mott. They are not the cheapest place in Chinatown but true professionals. When my daughter applied to the Gateway to Medicine major at Brooklyn Tech, the optometrist told me that she went to college with the person in charge of the program, the Brooklyn Tech assistant principal for science. Said assistant principal told me that she and her brother, who is the main optician, are the owners of the business, although they have a couple of Little Italy jokers who sell frames to the white people who wander over from Mulberry St. and act like they own the place.
Definitely worth the trip. You can bring them a prescription or she will do the exam for free if you get your frames there.

open 7 days a week 9:30 to 7:30 I think and they will do them in an hour if they have the lenses in stock
Tell them Juliette’s mom sent you, although it’s really not necessary!
I wash my bath mats separately. One day, I took them (3) down to the building laundry room and washed them. I completely forgot about them. An hour later I remembered and went down to get them. They weren’t in the washing machine. I looked in the dryer, Nope not there. I looked in the garbage, Nope. GONE!
I wanted to go door to door and look in every apt’s bathrooms to see who has my bath mats!!!
I learned this when I atayed with family friends a couple of weeks as a teenager and all my clothes including the towel in the bath disappeared every day for cleaning.
Of course they used river water and a spoonful of soap and the help weren’t paid or fed much, so the carbon load was probably OK ;).
my building’s laundry rush usually seems to be weekdays 6-10. people rushing home after work type of a thing to see who can get their loads in first. i usually save my laundry for a weekend when it’s super super nice out.. it’s usually empty then.
i noticed a while back that the tiles on the floor of the laundry room in my building are exactly the same as the tiles in my bathroom. that doesnt seem right for some reason.
How often do you think the knock off purse, sunglasses and watch salesmen on Canal Street wash their prayer rugs?
oooh – new thread about unions!!
On eyes-related note, anyone used web for contacts. Just picking up one today and it’s $150!! (gas permeable). On the web it’s $40. What danger?

There should be questionable listing awards on this site. I love ones like this that have 10 pics but it’s basically really 4 or so repeated over and over.

The towel thing was just ‘coo-coo’

Our output vs…..what mean by ‘output’?
