And There Is Also This
I love New York # 23: People here are smart. Store window of Anthony Aiden Opticians on St. Marks and 2nd Ave, and by far my favorite marketing scheme of the year. No, they’re not selling your most-loved board games from the 1980’s, just glasses. Way to tap into of all of us 20 and 30 somethings’ subconcious desires to revert to childhood. It worked on me, stopped me dead in my tracks the first time I walked by, and the following times I couldn’t help myself but to stop to stare in the window and reminisce. Too bad for them I’ve got 20/20 vision, and am also the proud owner of a pair of $7 sunglasses I bought on St. Marks. Maybe I should recommend they sell the games too. Anyone up for a twister party?
