The Sopranos Made The Ice Cream Parlor World Famous

But in 2007, Holsten’s suddenly became world famous.

The producers of the HBO classic series, The Sopranos, decided to film the very last scene of the series at Holsten’s.

The Tony Soprano Table

This is the very table where the scene was filmed:

When the star of The Sopranos, James Gandolfini, suddenly died several years ago, Holsten’s had a special tribute to him.

The booth was “reserved” for “Tony Soprano” that night. No one sat at that table.

Gandolfini was from New Jersey.

Saturday Night Live

The iconic last scene at Holsten’s was even spoofed recently in a Trump-Russia opening skit on Saturday Night Live, since Trump and Michael Cohen have apparent mob connections.

You can check out their website here: Holsten’s Brookdale Confectionery.

The restaurant is part of the Sopranos tours that are still going on many years after the show ended.
