MOSCOT Eyewear

Moscot Glasses – Since 1899

Nestled in New York's Lower East Side stands MOSCOT, a family-run eyewear specialist and local institution.

In 1899, from humble beginnings, MOSCOT was born when founder Hyman Moscot emigrated to America from Eastern Europe and began selling spectacles from a pushcart. It was that pushcart that would grow to become MOSCOT, the optical and style experts that are favourites with the likes of Johnny Depp, Julianne Moore & Harrison Ford.
