- Holsten's diner in Bloomfield, New Jersey, is auctioning off the iconic booth from 'The Sopranos' final scene on eBay, with bids reaching $65,000.
- The auction is part of a renovation effort at Holsten's, necessitated by the deteriorating condition of the booths, which are over 60 years old.
- The winning bidder will receive the booth seats, table, divider wall, and a plaque reserving it for the Soprano Family, but the jukebox is not included.
- The booth has become a memorial site for James Gandolfini, who played Tony Soprano, since his death in 2013.
- Holsten's co-owner Chris Carley expressed mixed feelings about the sale, citing safety concerns and the need for modernization as reasons for the renovation.
