Via boston.cbslocal.com. Another quarantine casualty. The Banana Boat, which has been serving up ice cream on Revere Beach since 1977, has announced it is closing. Built like a fortress, it withstood decades of pounding storms and hurricanes, yet the coronavirus shutdown proved to be too much.
Owners Amora & Avri Schena posted a heartfelt message on their Facebook page thanking everyone: It is with a heavy heart we have made the tough decision to close Banana Boat Ice Cream. Words will never be enough to express our gratitude to our family, hard-working employees, dedicated customers, suppliers, and each person who has supported us over the years.
