You know who you are, those of you who cobble your eyeglasses together with tape and chewing gum whenever they break. For a whole lot less money than the cost of a new pair of frames, a little solder in the right place might just do the trick. Christino is a wizard with these tiny repairs, and is a great conversationalist to boot. And if the talk lags, there's plenty of art and ephemera to gaze at on the shop's walls. It's best to call before coming because the shop closes from time to time, but you can always cool your heels at nearby Juan in a Million.
