ntroducing Selima Optique Gramercy

      This past Thursday, we popped some bottles to celebrate the opening of  Selima Optique Gramercy, an adorable, carefully curated boutique focusing primarily on our namesake eyewear collection with select vintage frames and specialty gift items such as cards and notebooks. Sharing a block with Bar Jamón, Casa Mono, Takamichi Beauty Room and the famously unmarked Inn At Irving Place, we instantly felt right at home this a very special New York neighborhood.

     Selima Optique Gramercy is located in Manhattan’s historic Gramercy neighborhood on 17th st. and Irving Place, named after Washington Irving , author of such works as, to name a few, Sleepy Hollow and Rip Van Winkle. The neighborhood is home to the infamous Gramercy Park , one of two private parks located in NYC. Members of a few exclusive clubs, religious establishments, guests of the Gramercy Park Hotel , and local residents who wish to pay the annual assessment fee are the only key holders to the park.  If you’re wandering around the area and looking to get a bite to eat or something to drink there are a few great places nearby. The Michelin Star sister restaurants Casa Mono and Bar Jamon are located just next door to the shop offering restaurant fare, wine, and tapas. If you’re more on the market for fancy libations swing by The Inn at Irving Place just around the corner, home to Cibar and Lady Mendi’s Tea Salon . Cibar, located in the basement of the Inn, is the place to go for cocktails and snacks but if you’ve got a little more time to kill, and looking for something a little less boozy, check out Lady Mendi’s 5-course tea service.
