Moscot Eyewear has been a New York City institution for nearly 100 years. The Moscot optical roots were first planted by great grandfather and patriarch, Hyman Moscot, who arrived from Eastern Europe via Ellis Island in 1899 and began selling ready-made eyeglasses from a pushcart on Orchard Street on Manhattan’s famed Lower East Side. In 1915, having establishing himself in the neighbourhood as the “go-to” guy for glasses, Hyman opened what would become Moscot’s first retail space at 94 Rivington Street.
