Brookline's Oldest Restaurant (Or Is It?)

Three years ago, I wrote a blog post about Brookline's oldest restaurant, the Busy Bee, which opened on Beacon Street just east of Carlton Street in April 1955.

Ad announcing the grand opening of Busy Bee. Brookline Citizen, April 14, 1955, p7.

Busy Bee has now closed, as reported in Brookline News. So which restaurant gets to wear the crown as Brookline's oldest?
