About Us
In 1905, after winning the Venice land on a coin flip with his partners, Abbot Kinney
built Venice-of-America to be a personal monument to Venice, Italy. He built a fantasy
city with real canals, a wood boardwalk and piers with rides and water slides.
It was a huge hit! Celebrities like William Randolph Hearst and Marion Davies strolled
the Venice Boardwalk; Sarah Bernhardt performed in the Venice Auditorium; Charlie
Chaplin clowned in Abbot Kinney’s auto races; and Mary Pickford was rowed in her
own gondola. Venice was the place to be!
The building that now houses the Sidewalk Café was one of the last of Abbot Kinney’s
Venice buildings and was originally designed to be four stories tall, but only the
firstfloor was ever constructed.
It was eventually sold to the Harrah family (of gambling fame) and was turned into a
bingo parlor (later called bridgo because bingo was illegal). During prohibition
Abbot Kinney’s underground utility tunnels were modified to accommodate bootleggers
who delivered liquor at night under the pier.
In the 1950s and early ‘60s the building housed artists’ studios and served as the crash
pad for beatnik writers and poets such as Jack Kerouac.
The building stood vacant for many years until 1976 when Mary Goodfader’s
bookstore, Small World Books, lost its lease in Marina Del Rey. Bob Goodfader,
while bicycling on the bike path, saw the building and called the phone number
graffitied on its front. The Goodfaders and their friends, Walter (Skip) and Penny Dixon
bought the building for the bookstore.
Bob and Skip decided to open a small takeout place in the side not in use by the
bookstore. The eatery was such a hit that they expanded it into a patio restaurant.
Venice experienced a rebirth with roller skating and skateboarding in the 70s.
The Boardwalk’s unique entertainers, skateboarding’s Z-boys, Muscle Beach’s
bodybuilders and Venice’s basketball players attracted worldwide attention.
The Sidewalk Café offered great food and a front row seat to the circus.
Small World Books is one of the last surviving independent bookstores in Los Angeles
and is still run by Mary. Come see what treasures that their staff can help you discover.
Bob passed away in 2002 but the Sidewalk Café is still being run by the people
he trained like his son Jay, his protégé Steve, his general manager Kristen
and his head cook Luciano.
