Ugly: Bobo
We said: French-born chef Nicolas Cantrel, an Alain Ducasse alum, is at the helm of this modern European restaurant in the Village, whose name tips its hat to the Village's "bourgeois bohemian" spirit (yep, try telling that to Marc Jacobs and Ralph Lauren's sleek Bleecker Street shops).
Reality: Inexplicable name aside—we get the bourgeois bohemian thing, but come on!—the real issue here is flat-out inconsistency. After Cantrel's departure in February, Jared Stafford-Hill took over...and was fired earlier this month. Boston chef Patrick Connolly has stepped up to the plate. Let's hope his recent James Beard Award (for Best Chef Northeast) keeps him there.
