| Izzy Guss arrived in New York from Russia at the dawn of the 20th Century. Like many other immigrants, he rented a pushcart and sold produce on the Lower East Side. In 1910, Izzy opened his own pickle shop on Hester Street. However, Izzy wasn't alone: at the time, the area was teeming with 80 other pickle shops.
