News 12 takes a trip to Mott Haven, a Bronx neighborhood that has gone through quite a change over the last decade with young entrepreneurs.
Amaurys Grullon is all about the Bronx. Five years ago, he wanted his brand, Bronx Native, to make a move from online to a brick-and-mortar location. He chose Mott Haven, which he says has been a hub of creativity, entrepreneurship and growing businesses.
Carlos Cortes, owner of Chocobar Cortes that opened this year, adds to Grullon's comments saying a lot of changes are happening for the better.
With so much going on creatively in the neighborhood, it's no surprise to see plenty of murals on the streets.
A trip to Mott Haven gives a little bit of everything for everybody.
