Thanks to a tip from a reader, I investigated the ABC application posted in the window of the now-defunct mini-mart just to the right of Piccolo at 9 Dudley Ave. in Venice.  Whatever is taking over appears to be a new restaurant that is billing itself as a “café/market” and will be serving beer and wine.  Hard to imagine what’s coming to the tiny space, but the applicant is listed as Dudley Market and according to the conditional use application, there will be a full-service restaurant with only 20 seats as well as a “gourmet market”.  Dudley Market is more than likely a working name, so we’ll have to keep watching to find out more…
