The Legacy of Holsten's
Holsten’s restaurant in Bloomfield, N.J. holds a special place in the hearts of Sopranos fans as the iconic filming location for the show's unforgettable finale. As the restaurant prepares for renovations, the original booth featured in the last scene is now up for sale on eBay, attracting bids as high as $82,200. This booth, where Tony Soprano sat with his family, watching over them, has become a valuable piece of memorabilia for dedicated fans of the beloved HBO series.
A Piece of Television History
The eBay listing includes both seats, the table, and the divider wall, all of which played a crucial role in the emotional conclusion of the show. The plaque that reads “Reserved for the Sopranos Family” adds to the authenticity of this collector's item. While the jukebox, which Tony used to set the mood with Journey's “Don’t Stop Believin’,” is not part of the auction, winning bidders will have the honor of owning a piece of television history that has captivated audiences for years.
A Fan-Favorite Destination
Holsten’s, a diner and ice cream parlor that has been serving customers since 1939, has become a popular destination for Sopranos enthusiasts. The establishment pays tribute to the show on its website, highlighting its cultural significance and its connection to the beloved characters. Owner Ron Stark's gesture of honoring James Gandolfini after his passing further solidified the diner's place in the hearts of fans, turning the reserved booth into a memorial for the late actor.
