Some business owners like to open well established neighborhoods. Others seek out the new frontier, and that's the idea behind this week's Neighborhood Eats. This Italian spot opened in October in what some developers are calling the piano district of the Bronx, because it's where pianos used to be built in the early 1900s.

Now it's becoming more residential with stores and restaurants moving in. Among them is La Grata located at 136 Alexander Avenue. "I love the change of New York over the years, Hell's Kitchen first, I saw all these neighborhoods change, I saw the South Bronx, and I said, 'Why not, let's go,'" said Erminio Conte, restaurant owner.
