NJ Haunts Spotlighted In 'Sopranos' 25th Anniversary Tour: Report

NEW JERSEY — It's been 25 years since 'The Sopranos' hit the air — turning millions of eyes toward New Jersey, the home state of mob boss Tony Soprano and his family.

To celebrate what is considered by many to be one of the greatest television shows of all time, a local media company offered a tour across northern New Jersey, giving fans a chance to see with their own two eyes iconic locations where filming took place. The experience was chronicled in a video feature at NJ Spotlight News.

Among the places in which fans old and new got to visit was Satin Dolls — the former home of the Bada Bing strip club, where Tony's office is hidden — and perhaps the most legendary set of them all: Holsten's, the eatery where the Sopranos had their final meal.

Several people traveled from across the world to join the tour, with one attendee, Ireland's Steven Hanna, telling NJ Spotlight News that he had seen the show around 25 times.

Tour guide John DeFilippo told the outlet that he believes the show's longevity is due to the fact that all those years ago, it was unafraid to "push the envelope and test the limits of TV" from the series premiere until the controversial final shot.

Not surprisingly, many fans still flock to Holsten's to try the onion rings that the Soprano family ate in the final minute of the show, the store's general manager, Karl Schneider, told NJ Spotlight News.

"Pre-Sopranos, we were famous," Schneider said. "Post-Sopranos, we were infamous."

And die-hard fans can run right to the exact booth where Tony was sitting when the screen cut to black.

"We could say 'yeah, I've been there, I've sat in that seat," one man from England told NJ Spotlight News.
