Nouvelle Vag

The 2 reviews on Yelp seem to lay it out; bad quality product with unjustified high prices.

Not to mention the world's worst name

Ummmm...... 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.

There's some comedy there. But was the true answer was ever revealed? Why they called the place Vag?

Indeed, worst. And this - in a neighborhood where giving your small business a terrible name seems to be a zoning mandate. Within 8 blocks of Nouvelle Vag, I give you:

Skazzy Cafe

God Is (...a restaurant?!)

Bearded Lady

Thirstbaravin

It seems to be how the business has chosen to spell itself

So, does this mean they didn't care about spelling it correctly, and/or did not get the input of people who enjoy thinking about vaginas?

I don't think it's a misspelling.

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.

Since the above posts, the French owner became aware that "Vag" unleashed the inner Beavis and Butthead in large numbers of potential customers, and has officially added "ue" to the name.

She also is undertaking efforts to attract customers to her business on the basis of art:

I wish her the best.
