New York … New York: Just last month we covered the streets of NYC in Street Seen noting New Yawkers do eyewear and sunwear proud via a powerful attitude of confidence and style. We headlined it as “All Right New Yawk… Let’s Have a Look at Ya!” and any true New Yorker would know that’s exactly the way Mick Jagger greeted the crowd at Madison Square Garden back when The Stones recorded their live Get Yer Ya Yas Out. The arena turned up the lights and those faces, like these, nodded in agreement that the best place for Vision Expo East will always be our town. Welcome to New York and here’s lookin’ at ya.
