The MOSCOT optical roots were first planted by Great-Great-Grandpa Hyman Moscot, who arrived from Eastern Europe via Ellis Island in 1899. He began selling ready-made eyeglasses from a pushcart on Orchard Street on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, and by 1915, opened the family’s first Shop at 94 Rivington Street.
