Holsten’s Ice Cream Parlor (famous from The Sopranos) | Bloomfield, New Jersey

Holsten’s Ice Cream Is A New Jersey Legend
Holsten’s ice cream parlor has been a legendary meeting spot in Bloomfield, New Jersey for over 75 years.
They are famous for their homemade ice cream and candy.
They also serve burgers and other classic American food.
The parlor still holds old-school charm in its’ interior design.
New Jerseyans have known about this legendary place for many years.
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.

How neat that an old family favorite establishment becomes world famous! We just watched the Sopranos for the first time last year so I totally remember that scene and that booth.
