MOSCOT History:

The MOSCOT optical roots were first planted in America by Great Great Grandfather and family patriarch, Hyman Moscot, who arrived from Eastern Europe via Ellis Island in 1899. Hyman began selling ready-made eyeglasses from a pushcart on Orchard Street on Manhattan's famed Lower East Side.

By 1936, MOSCOT was settled at 118 Orchard Street, on the corner of Delancey Street, which would be its home for the next eight decades.

In July 2013, after 77 years, the MOSCOT Orchard Street Shop "crossed Delancey Street," from 118 Orchard to 108 Orchard when its iconic building was sold - an extraordinarily propitious outcome for an institution determined to keep a foothold in its beloved Lower East Side for the next generation of Moscot. Hyman would be proud.
