babbo in nycity
 
dumb question...but how do you pronounce Babbo?

My wife was wondering the same thing. I thought it was BA-bo (short A sound), but when I called and made reservations, the lady on the phone pronounced it BAH-bo. I guess she would know best.

thanks - now for the second half...short or long o? or is it boo?

djdave Jul 13th, 2003 06:10 PM

Long O on "bo".

Do any of you know how to pronounce L'Occitane? Stupid question... I know. I have been shopping there for years and have always been too embarrassed to ask!

Loss It An = L'Occitaine

Well, you know, that's what I figured... but some employee said it some totally goofy way a year or so ago and made me doubt it.

Well, that employee obviously does not know who to ask for proper pronunciation ;)

Thanks, Scarlett!
Have a great week!
