History

Three chefs in a year, one player piano

When we listed it, a player piano provided the soundtrack to the small, antique-filled bar below the restaurant. Bobo opened in 20071, and by Eater's account its looks and its address at 10th Street and Seventh Avenue had it packed from the start2. The kitchen was less settled: by late 2008 Bobo had gone through three executive chefs in a year2. It's still at 181 West 10th Street1.
