<icontent>     Random query, but I have my heart set on a new pair of glasses that I can&#39;t get at home, and was wondering if anyone would be able to help me find them while I am in NY - I would order them online but really want to try them on first!    They are Christain Dior, style OTUL Brown/Panther Azure Brown - if anyone could point me in the right direction of a stockist I&#39;d be most grateful! I am staying near Bryant Park so somewhere in that area would be ideal.     Thanks in advance!   </icontent>

<rcontent>     I don&#39;t see anything online with the style you list. You should first find them online and then try to see which stores might have them. Sometimes a style you might see in the Caribbean is not available here (and vice versa).    I&#39;ve said it before and I&#39;ll say it again, don&#39;t worry so much about staying near your hotel. You can go where you need to go easily. That said,    maps.google.com  has a &quot;search nearby&quot; function so if you map the hotel and then use search nearby for opticians you may find what you want. Cohen&#39;s is a large chain of stores like Lenscrafters and carries designer glasses. There are several near Bryant Park. If you don&#39;t need prescription lenses, all of the dept. stores carry designer glasses although not all will have Dior. I think the store being mentioned above on Madison Ave. is Purdy&#39;s. Happy shopping.   </rcontent>

<rcontent>     Cheers guys, that was my mistake in the original post, the style ref is 0TUL oops.    I remember the place in Grand Central now that you mentioned it, I was planning on going there anyway so I will check there first! Like I said I only want to try them on and check they look ok before I fork out heaps to get them online!     Thanks for all your help :)   </rcontent>
