The owner is French. She probably just decided to write it that way the same way someone might write 'boro' instead of 'borough'. Her English might not be strong enough for her to have realized what that was going to sound like. The decor inside the cafe IS all about the Nouvelle Vague.

I guess their name is an homage to that but the misspelling is a mystery still.

I took French in high school, so I know what "nouvelle" means, but does "vag" mean something else? Maybe I should have stayed with French through college.
