The Venice Art Crawl is going to work with our local artists to produce some very cool, creative barrels. We’ll then partner up with businesses and residents in LA who want a barrel installed in a public location. Our goal is to both gain the actual water protection and conservation through the barrels themselves, but also to raise awareness as to what exactly rain barrels are, how simple they are to use and how valuable they are to a dry, urban area like the City of Los Angeles. Remember when we had those angels all over the place? Or if you’ve ever seen the pigs in Seattle? That’s what we’re going for…only with real, functional art.

Please visit the link below and give us a vote!

When Abbot Kinney officially introduced the world to Venice-of-America in 1905 he did it in style.  Across Windward Avenue at Pacific (then Trolley Way), 3-foot high letters glowed to electric life and spelled out the place to be on that 4th of July – in VENICE.  Historic Windward Avenue with its Italianate architecture and colonnade
began life as the entrance to the wonderful amusement pier.  Today it remains our gateway to the remarkable scene known throughout the world as Venice Beach.

Community markers signify and identify local pride – think of the Hollywood sign or the Santa Monica Pier archway.  The VENICE sign, older than them all, was taken down some time in the mid-50s and had been sorely missed.

The Venice Sign Restoration Project was formed to return this welcoming icon as a lasting legacy of Venice’s Centennial celebration.  Many Venetians and local companies joined the effort with LA City officials.  In 2007, the Venice Chamber of Commerce celebrated the newly fabricated LED incarnation with a poem from artist Philomene Long and Councilman Bill Rosendahl supplying the dedication to a cheering crowd.

Now you have a chance to share in this exciting historic re-creation by joining in the Adopt-A-Bulb project. Your donation will apply toward the project completion (including website, live webcam, and future solar array) in addition to the ongoing costs for maintenance, power, and insurance.  We have 87 bulbs looking for $200 sponsors ($100/year payable over 2 years) and, in keeping with the Venice Spirit, we want the widest representation possible.  Adopt-A-Bulb and honor your favorite institution, civic group, tradition, local haunt, school, or neighborhood. Your engraved dedication plate will be added to the VENICE SIGN PLAQUE on display in Danny’s Deli and rotated to other Windward area establishments.

Almost half the bulbs are already adopted, so please respond today.  Future generations will thank you.

BEER DRINKER’S GUIDE TO VENICE.  Written by Alex Stowell.



Abbot Kinney once asked, “where is the beer?” Well, in honor of our great city’s founder, I am going
to answer that question. We will look at several local watering holes, and seek out the best deals they have.

Barlo Kitchen and Cocktails- This local gem, located on the ground level of Hotel Erwin,   locally sources all of its beer!  That is right!  Every single bottle of brew is made in California. Amongst the offerings are West Coast IPA, Scrimshaw pilsner and Old Rasputin. Now I be eco-friendly and drink beer at the same time.  Now that sounds like responsible partying!

Danny’s Deli- Danny’s has stepped it up several notches.  They now have Stone IPA and Flying Dog IPA on draft. Danny’s opens at 11:30 Mon-Fri and 11:00 on Sat and Sun.  Happy hour  specials: $5 well cocktails, $4 Drafts and $4 Glasses of wine .   www.dannysvenice.com

 

Nikki’s- Nikki’s has $3 drafts everyday from 4-7p.m.  Included in their tap collection Karl Strauss IPA and Red Trolley amber.  This is one of the best deals in Venice.  Go get some! Woohooo.  www.nikkivenice.com/


The Townhouse- This long-time Venice hang has its own signature brew. Crisp, refreshing and only available at the Townhouse.  They also serve up the big 22 0z. slammers for the extra thirsty! Happy hour starts daily at 5:00 p.m.townhousevenice.com


James Beach- A brand new draft system featuring Allagash white ale and Stone IPA is a welcome addition to this beautiful peoples hang. www.jamesbeach.com

Sidewalk Cafe- The Sidewalk has $3 pints of Bud products in the bar daily from 4-7 p.m.  As well, they have several rotating taps to keep the beer snob happy.  Great people watching in the heart of the boardwalk.  www.thesidewalkcafe.com/


The Canal Club- Half price drafts on Monday three rotating taps should keep you good and hydrated.   www.canalclubvenice.com

Cabo Cantina-  Cabo has 2 for 1 bottled beer during both of their happy hours (4-7 p.m. daily and 10 p.m.-12 a.m. Sun.- Tr) The selection includes almost every Mexican beer there is, and several domestics as well. thecabocantina.com/

Figtree’s Cafe- Chill out on the boardwalk and drink $3 beers everyday from 3 p.m. ’til close.  Their selection of bottles is vast, and includes the gold standard Sierra Nevada and Amstel Light.  figtreescafe.com/


Trip- Though Trip is Santa Monica, they are deserving of inclusion in this article, simply for their commitment to live music.   $2 PBR all day, everyday and Green Flash’s West Coast IPA is on draft makes the trek to SM worth it. www.tripsantamonica.com

Venice Ale House- The VAH is now brewing their own beer.  Christened Hi-hop by owners Tom and Spoony (founder of Kona brewery), this beer crushes.  It is crispy and refreshing, yet hoppy and strong.  You could drink it all day in the sun, or with a steak for dinner.  And, at 6.2 abv, it gets the job done.  Way to go VAH.

venicealehouse.com/

Larry’s- One of Venice’s newest arrivals, Larry’s is serious about brew. They have 26 rotating taps and happy hour weekdays from 4-6 p.m.!!!  Wow, I think I could live here. larrysvenice.com/

Well Folks, that is all for this edition of the Beer Guide to Venice, I hope you enjoyed it!

Let Figtree Cafe be the fuel for your fun. Start your morning right by stopping in for a hearty and heart-smart and highly sought after breakfast. Yes, for over 30 years, Figtree has been the favorite breakfast destination for hungry and healthy visitors and Venetians alike.

It’s all about the right ingredients: Chino Valley organic eggs, La Brea Bakery artisan breads, Nature’s Best natural & organic products, Vet’s Garden greens & herbs and Venice’s own Ground Works locally roasted organic coffee are just some of the great stuff that go into our delicious breakfast creations.

Start with fresh squeezed juices and signature hot coffee & tea beverages like the rich and earthy jolt of our Mate Latte, made from organic Yerba Mate or go for the velvety rich flavor of Ghirardelli hot chocolate. Revive your senses with an invigorating tonic; served sparkling over ice or piping hot, in 5 different formulas to choose from.

Feed your morning appetite with our signature giant omelets like the Shiitake or the Olympian, served with herb-roasted potatoes and La Brea toast. Love a good old pancake breakfast? Try Figtree’s delicious cornmeal pancakes with organic maple syrup. Got a few extra minutes to indulge? Don’t miss the “puffed” pancake, a light and delicate pancake souffle, filled with fresh seasonal fruit and dusted with a light confection.

For a healthy twist on more traditional breakfast offerings, make sure to sample our hearty smoked Applegate turkey bacon, or our very own chicken-apple sausage. The soy chorizo is a flavor sensation that wows even the most carnivorous skeptics. Savor the familiar flavor of fresh smoked salmon and cream cheese over a toasted bagel with all the trimmings, an old-school favorite.

Looking for lighter fare? Choose one of our fresh fruit non-dairy smoothies, a bowl of porridge made from organic steel-cut oats, or La Brea granola with fresh yogurt, milk or soy. There is something for every appetite at Figtree’s breakfast. Enjoy select breakfast dishes all day.

Breakfast happy hour:
50% off the entire menu, excluding alcohol 8:00AM to 9:00AM 7 days a week.

Lunch & Dinner Service

————————–

What better way to take in the local flavor than sitting front and center on our ocean-front patio. Our covered patio seating nestles you in as you ready for some incredible eats. Need a little extra warmth as the sun begins to set? Stay warm and toasty with our outdoor natural gas heaters and soft blankets (just ask your server). Listen to eclectic tunes from our premier audio system or from local performers on the boardwalk. Starting to get the vibe? Now for the cuisine:

Try the California Focaccetti, a fusion dish with layers of grilled chicken, avocado, basil, sour cream jack cheese, tomatoes and spinach, all over a bed of grilled rosemary focaccia. Taste why patrons go nuts over our Far Eastern Ginger Noodles with fresh udon noodles, grilled tofu, sauteed ginger, peanuts, garlic, sesame oil and ponzu sauce; a truly inspired taste of the Orient.

Carb-conscious diners find great nutrition and intense flavor in our Pear-Walnut Salad, a delicate medley of fresh sliced green Anjou pears, rich crumbles of feta cheese and caramelized walnuts all over a bed of organic mixed greens with sesame vinaigrette. Get the energy you need from Figtree’s hearty Chopped Salad; semi-finely chopped lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, kidney & garbanzo beans, mozzarella & parmesan cheeses and balsamic vinaigrette. Add grilled chicken to make this a lean and mean body builder’s meal.

Of course no lunch or dinner is complete without the proper imbibe. Figtree Cafe offers an eclectic selection of premium bottled beers, dry South American & California wines and wine cocktails. Red or white, coastal or valleys, each wine was hand-picked by Chef Feliciano & staff to be the perfect accompaniment to your entree. Be sure to ask your server for recommendations in pairing your plate with the perfect glass!

Come to Figtree Cafe on weekends to try Chef Feliciano’s weekend creations like jumbo seared sea scallops with mango salsa and saffron rice, or the ever-popular calamari salad with fresh chopped cabbage and a delicate citrus dressing, or munch on the always delectable selection of crisp & savory Argentinean empanadas. Also every weekend, enjoy tall glasses of red or white sangria, made from Figtree’s own recipe.
