Iconic ‘Sopranos’ booth sold for eye-popping $82.6K — and buyer’s ID is as mysterious as Tony’s fate
NY Post
The famous booth where Tony Soprano sat during the final scene of the cult-classic mob show sold Monday for a stunning $82,600. But now, just like Tony’s fate, the identity of the buyer is a mystery.
The booth inside Holsten’s, an old-school ice cream parlor in Bloomfield, N.J., which offers customers a front-row seat for TV history, received nearly 240 bids at auction.
But, the lucky buyer is insisting on anonymity for now.
By Tuesday, the seat was already gone — replaced by a nearly identical new red banquettes and diner-style table. Gone, too, is the plaque that reads, “This booth is reserved for the Soprano family.”
“It’s in a safe place,” Holsten’s co-owner Ron Stark assured The Post.
“You’d have to wait about a day or so, and the buyer will disclose the information. They asked us not to say anything, so we’re going to respect that. I would imagine they’re going to do it on their own.
