got it. it was just an idle question. i do think there's room for what you're craving, but i think it is a niche market and might have to open in a less-trafficked, less high-rent space. maybe a side street a la E77 or Dosa Delight (a favorite that *can* be healthy if navigated properly) or the stretch of lower 35th where Legends is.

I lack the aptitude, drive, or patience to be a business owner. Not my forté in the least. My lady lives there and I often crave something along these lines in the neighborhood when I’m there. And I had (have) a suspicion that there are many who feel the same. I think someone could have a successful go at it.

NIMBY fear concerning a bowl of quinoa/acai. I do think Caffe Bene on 37th Ave sells these "Brooklyn/Astoria style" bowls. But I've never tried them so can't speak for their quality. Has anyone tried them?
yes, the rent thing. this is not something *most* people would be into, but it is something that people would head to if they knew it was there.
I truly think a ton of people are interested in eating cleaner in this day and age.
I've been focusing on losing some weight over the last couple of months, and I'm hard pressed to think of at least one meal at every restaurant I frequent that's at least an okay option when I go out to eat.
I admit that I have not been reading here, so hope this info is pertinent. I walked along Northern Blvd. today and passed Divina Juice Bar, @85th across from RiteAid (718-457-0193) which sells bowls: acai, yogurt, fruit and others.
