Landmark status recommended for Venice West Cafe | L.A. NOW | Los Angeles Times:
"The Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission voted unanimously today to recommend landmark designation for a Venice Beach site that served as a gathering spot for Beat Generation poets and artists in the 1950s and '60s.
Venice West Cafe, a coffeehouse where poets read their works and jazz musicians performed, operated from 1958 to 1966 at 7 Dudley Ave. in a commercial building that also had storefronts on Ocean Front Walk.
Among others who hung out there were local poets and members of the '60s rock group the Doors. The former Venice West Cafe location is now occupied by Piccolo Restaurant."
