Jimmy's Harborside Restaurant was a Boston seafood restaurant on the Boston Fish Pier[1] opened by Jimmy Doulos in 1924. The restaurant closed in 2005[2] and the building was demolished in 2007.[3] For restaurants in the neighborhood, Jimmy’s was a favorite for Julia Child.[4]
When it first opened, it was called Liberty Cafeteria. The name Jimmy's Harborside was not used until 1955.[5]
The Massachusetts Port Authority had plans to redevelop the Fish Pier and was interested in the property as their property totaled . They came to an agreement with owner Jimmy Doulos and the restaurant would close in a few weeks with the possibility of opening a waterside location at some time in the future. Legal Sea Foods built Legal Harborside on the site.[6]
