"The Sopranos" New Jersey Diner Booth from Finale is Up for Auction

You can now own an iconic piece of TV history — if you have several thousand dollars to spare, that is.

More than 16 years after "The Sopranos" series finale left viewers wondering if their TVs had unexpectedly blacked out, the New Jersey restaurant Holsten’s is auctioning off the booth where Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini), Carmela (Edie Falco), and A.J. (Robert Iler) sat down for a meal in the show’s final moments.

EW has confirmed with the restaurant that the eBay listing is real.

“We are currently renovating our booths at Holsten's,” the listing reads. “This is your once in a lifetime chance to own the original booth that the Soprano Family sat in for the final scene of the famous show!”

Holsten’s has never made it a secret of its connection to "The Sopranos" finale. In fact, the shooting location is included in the restaurant’s Google Maps description, and the booth in question has long been adorned with a plaque reading "Reserved for the Sopranos Family.” That plaque is included in the purchase, along with both seats, the table itself, and the divider wall.

But for those who want to recreate the Soprano family’s experience of listening to Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” in this booth, you’ll have to provide your own music. The jukebox is not included in the sale. But it’s hard to imagine a better place to sit while debating with your friends and family over whether or not the show ended with Tony's death.

The eBay auction is open until 10 p.m. on Monday, March 4. As of this writing, there have been 116 bids, so demand is high!

A lucky "Sopranos" fan shelled out over $82,000 for the booth from Tony Soprano’s last supper.

The owners of Broomfield, NJ ice cream parlor Holsten’s put the booth featured in the hit HBO series’ 2007 finale up for auction last Wednesday, as the 88-year-old shop is being remodeled. After four days on eBay, the bidding war closed at $82,600 on Monday.

The juke box Tony Soprano was checking out in that booth at Holsten’s during that final episode of the show is still there.

People still get a kick sitting out of there, where Tony may or may not have enjoyed his last meal on Earth.

And, yes, the onion rings at Holsten’s are terrific. Buon appetito!
