The Parkside Grill was a Brookline
Boulevard establishment from 1947-1965, located at 1017 Brookline Boulevard,
across the street from the cannon and veteran's memorial. It was owned by
Joseph and Agnes Daley, parents of local artist Robert Daley.

The restaurant was a great place to grab
a sandwich, and popular spot for the teen crowd, who frequented the establishment
to hang out with friends and have a bite to eat. It was similar to a scene from
the hit 1970's sitcom Happy Days, or the award-winning feature film American
Graffiti.
The building was owned for many years by
Robert, an artist who used the storefront as a studio and had several canvases
on display in the window. In 2021, the building was sold to private interests
and Bob moved his studio into his Brookline home.
