Request: Braille???

Does ANYONE out there know of a good place to learn Braille in NYC? Why is this “only for the disabled”??? I spend hours in front of a monitor, my eyes are tired at the end of the day, I want to read something without using my eyes, is that so wrong?!?!?!?!? Yet at this point Braile seems to be unpopular among the sighted… lame…
