With locations just off the beach in both Manhattan and Hermosa, Paradise Bowls’ superfruit bowls and smoothies are a hit among beachgoers and particularly the fitness minded. Acai, pitaya and bee pollen are popular ingredients, alongside more common berries and citrus fruits. “We’re a family-owned business, so we see plenty of family, friends and regulars,” said manager Rachel Quane. “But summer is our busiest time… the line will go out the door. “People order, go to the beach for an hour, come back and enjoy their bowl,” Quane said.
