About the Neighborhood

Back in 1897, when American neighborhoods were planned around public transportation, East Rochester was laid out as a planned community designed around the New York Central Railroad mainline that ran through the center of the village. Fortunately for village residents, this legacy makes it a much more walkable community than most suburbs, providing easy access to many popular local businesses such as Debbie Supply (hardware), Lemoncello Cafe and the Despatch Pizza Kitchen. The massive structure that once housed one of the World's largest piano manufacturers, is now the village's main commercial plaza, known as The Piano Works. Etna Italian Pastry Shop occupies a space in The Piano Works and is known to serve up some of the areas best cannolis. That being said, East Rochester has many fine Italian options. It has been written that one-third of its residents are of Italian descent.
